[HANNAMAN74]

Has anyone gotten their hands on the Falcon diesel specific 3.3 adjustable shocks yet? Ready to do a lift, but waiting on these.

Yes installed them about 2 months ago. Rock Krawler did a 3 inch lift and I replaced factory shocks with falcon 3.3 adjustable. I have the fronts set at easy or soft and the rear set at firm. There are 3 settings. rear is firm because added weight of hard shell tent and bedrack. Honestly the lift made the most difference in the ride. Teraflex sent me monotube wrangler longer shocks in order to have the lift done because at the time 3.3 were not in yet. I actually liked the ride of the wrangler monotube shocks seemed to be dialed in nicely. Rock Krawler had to modify them to even fit on the gladiator diesel. About 1 month after lift I placed the 3.3 falcon adjustable specific for diesel. had them on order for a long time. I liked the ride from the wrangler shocks but like the adjustability of the falcon shocks.

how do you like the RK diesel springs? are the front too firm? I asked them and their spring rates are pretty high...i'm a bit worried about that myself

i have them, haven't installed yet. ordered from rebel off road, and got them delivered in about a week which was way better than the 14+ weeks i was quoted from most places

Anyone installed the Falcon 3.1's for the diesel? I don't think I need the adjustability, but can always add it later.

I did 3.3’s to start. Yes you can buy the cartridges to change them but it will cost you $$$ to have it done professionally or at Teraflex.

Just got my hands on some new-ish diesel specific SP2 3.3s. The ride is greatly improved compared to the rubicon take offs I was running. Also currently running the Clayton diesel front springs, 3/4 inch daystar spacers front and rear along with the metal cloak durospring bump stops. Currently have the shaft setting on soft and upper setting on firm and really like the ride.

I been eyeballing these shocks. Think that I will go with them, unless things change.

I have read they are overly stiff even with the mode adjust.....probably about right for a diesel

I could see that for a gasser but on my diesel they feel great. It would probably be too stiff however if the sp2 mode was on the firm setting.

I've got them, and I love them. Setting #1 is a little too loosey goosey for me, so I roll around with mine at 2.3 on all four corners and it feels great for daily driving. On back roads, fire service roads, 1 feels good for the front, and bumped down the back to 2.1. Rock crawling I put all 4 in 3 and its perfect

What setting on the shaft are you running?
