Update on these e-Adjust shocks. I have a trip to Utah coming up in about a week and a half so I contacted them to see what my eta is.....another 2-3 months. Supposedly the wiring hasn't been perfected for the unit which is causing the delay. I'm not too happy with their transparency or customer care for that matter. Anyway, I'll update when I actually get them on the truck.

Not to be a debbie downer or a contrarian, but you could call AccuTune and probably have a set of customized Fox 2.5DSC’s sent in time.

Not sure if your goals are specifically the eadapt or just gucci shocks....

It's getting to that point. I was actually going to order Fox 2.5 from Accutune when they said six months out which is why I went with Falcon, my second pick. Now it's going to be six months before the Falcons come in. Maybe.

Note: On "The Story Till Now" on you tube, they just re-did his Gladiator Suspension and added the Falcon E-Adjust shocks as part of the new setup. No real evaluation yet, but, he will probably put out a new video in a week or so. It will be great to hear what he says.

I can't get past one question in my head: Where did they go cheap to get the features they did into their shocks?

I mean, these things are cheaper than King or Fox shocks with manual adjusters....so how is it they are coming in less with E Adjust? Cheap components/oils? Cheap assembly in China? Cheap materials? Or just not charging you premium-brand prices?

The price point is literally the one thing I cannot get me around my head and prevents me from buying them, as stupid as it sounds.

Since we are hurting for content on these, here is a comparison from the Van customization guys.



Here is the Van guys explanation of the E-Adapt.

push the eject button. 2400.00 bucks and the product is still being tested? No thanks.

What ticks me off after seeing that the Story Till Now gets them for free is that I'm a paying customer and I have to wait three more months... what gives?

The way some of these companies market their items is a mystery to me. I get you need a couple high traffic sources to get the word out. But at the end of the day, there are a ton of customers on forums like this who’s first question is “hey, im looking at this. Who has it and what do you think?”

And yet we all get nothing but back orders, time lines, delays, and MSRP.

Not much out there on the E-adjust.... I thought I would share on the regular Fast adjust to keep you guys going...
I also ordered the Falcon SP2 3.3 Fast adjust shocks on Thanksgiving weekend and received the mid Jan. The shocks have been great so far. I teamed them with my Clayton 3.5 inch overland plus kit. Here is a nice climb I did yesterday with them set at -- Falcon SP2 low setting, Fast adjust set to 2.3 . Very steep, Super nice shocks. I can imagine how nice the e-adjust must be.... you guys should love them.

Drinkwater Flats climb - Goodyear MTR 37", 19 psi, Low range 2nd gear, Rear locker locked, Sway bar disconnected.

Update: fyi, I have been running SP2 soft, fast adjust setting 3 lately on the road in the canyon with winds. What a great setting ! Completely transforms the truck into a decent carver and winds do not effect it. The ride is not harsh at all and much appreciated in the canyons with wind. I can see using this setting on smooth hwys at high speed. You feel very confident at 80 mph on this setting.

Started a YouTube channel, maybe it'll help. lol

Just got back from Moab today, what a blast. Going back for sure. We were able to get a Honda Passport through Fins and Things. Shocks would have been great to have...
