What Falcon shocks? I have a similar setup and have not noticed this at all. I've got the SP2 3.3 Piggybacks and the only thing I can think to offer (if you have similar adjustable Falcons) is that they have a summer/winter mode. Beyond just the knob that can adjust the stiffness, you rotate the...
Lot of things in play here. I use Android Auto at all times in mine and have learned a few things. I also have a Tazer and have not had issues and I doubt it is impacting your situation.
USB cables have been a CONSTANT pain for me, and others as well. I have to swap them out every few months...
It's much higher octane. That's why tuners like it because they can run much more aggressive timing and up the boost without causing early detonation. It also has a cooling effect inside the cylinder which allows for more boost. Ethanol doesn't have as much energy in it, so one of the downsides...
I haven't yet put the shocks through their full capabilities, but on-road on the soft setting rides excellent. Pretty comparable to stock, slightly firmer. Very pleased so far.
As far as the kit itself, I got the diesel kit so take that into account, but I'm overall super pleased. Clayton...
Ready to buy new wheels & tires and trying to educate myself on the impact of differing wheel width. And by "width" I mean the measurement from the inside edge to the outside edge. That is, if you're rolling it forward, the measurement from left side to right side. It seems that every search...
Didn't go with Mopar because the plan is 37s, and not having the higher Rubicon fenders, thought it might be wise to give myself a bit more room than 2".
Went with Clayton because of their reputation for quality and customer service, along with the fact that they are one of the few that have a...
Definitely the reason it rode so bad. As soon as I got the new springs on I saw that the shocks were maxed and figured I would be in for a "treat" when I drove it.
Nope, not travel. I mean level-ground ride height, measured before-and-after with a tape measure. I was very surprised by this as...
The temptation is real ;).
I'll have to stick to the plan, tho, which is 37s. Don't have the cheese right now for all the upgrades that go with 40s.
But srsly, I need those bigger tires stat. Feel like I'm driving on hockey pucks, now.
JTOD. Went with Clayton's Diesel 3.5" Ride Right+, which includes springs but not shocks. I had heard that Clayton tends to understate their lift height a bit, and after install, I did indeed end up with 4"of lift. Keeping the factory shocks, the ride was BRUTAL. So within a week I ordered the...
I figured it out. For anyone that comes across this:
3/16" tube side, M10x1 inverted flare on the thread side. I ended up getting this one from the local auto parts store. Fair warning, they are slightly smaller diameter on the inside than factory, so I had to drill it out to 13/64 to get it to...
Installing longer brake lines in the rear. Sadly, one of the factory tube nuts connecting the hard brake line to the flexible hose has ruined threads. Having a helluva time finding what size I need to get for a replacement. I know the hard line size is 3/16 but don't know the correct size for...
Interesting. Lift kit is going on this weekend, then 37s soon after. If you were rubbing with 35s that doesn't bode too well for me.
I ended up getting the Clayton 3.5inch lift, which I've come to understand is more like 4inch. Overkill, but everyone else is on backorder so this is what I went...
Great point on the ice. I honestly didn't even think about this. I was so preoccupied with mud and water I didn't consider ice hangs and snow build up during the winter months.
Yes, that's the bumper. Good eye!
This is great to know. I'll see if I can get ahold of the Rubicon skid plate. Thanks!
They're LED. Your advice here makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
I recently installed an aftermarket front bumper in which I was able to reuse the factory fog lights. In the new bumper, though, they are completely exposed. I also installed a winch at the same time, which isn't shown in the pic below, so the top of the fog lights are reasonably protected. But...
For the mirrors, are tube doors a consideration? My wife and kids feel a little more secure having tube doors. It's probably just the illusion of added safety, but it really doesn't negatively impact the doors-off experience. Regardless, many of them come with mirrors. I have these and like them...
