Advice on shocks for Ecodiesel

[Idlethunder]

I was talking with @CrazyCooter over a year ago. I made the comment that I'd like to stop by his shop one of these days when we make a trip up to his part of the country. I wasn't thinking about a suspension back then. Now I might have a better excuse for going.

After someone mentioned him I remembered reading some of his posts about tuning a year or two ago. I wish I'd waited rather than ordering from accutune now, would much rather support a member. I did dm him this morning and he said to contact him if I have any trouble. It's always nice to know help is available.

I feel the same way. @CrazyCooter is more than just a member, he's caring and very generous with his time. Considering his knowledge and skill set, he's also very humble. We mostly talked about Amsoil, diesels, and towing. I wished he lived closer.

Yes, It's not a huge difference between gas and diesel on the similar spring rates......slightly less compression and more rebound.

The main thing is that you are running a spring rate combination that I have worked with. Otherwise I would be doing what everyone else is selling........mismatched damping for the ride frequency!

Awesome!! When I get to that point I’ll give ya a holler! I’m all for supporting forum members.

I have minimal lift on my gladiator and have the diesel specific Falcon 3.3s 0-1.5 inch lift and love them.

I have the 2.5 elites on my diesel JT and the are the best I have ever run. The high and low speed adjustment are so far superior to how I want to use my truck, it was an easy choice after I did my research. Additionally, I got all 4 for $1750 almost new. The guy didn't know how to adjust them so he told me that he had them set to max on both settings and it was really bouncy....... He ordered a set of 8100s. You do have to play around until you find the settings that work for how you are using the truck, but isn't that the point of an adjustable suspension?

What front and rear springs are you running?

I have Teraflex 3.5 front spring with a 1/2" spacer and MC 3.5 rears. The other thing that made a really nice difference was the MC Geometry Correction Brackets.
