2022 JT EcoDiesel Rubicon
So been shopping a few different systems. I have a 22 Rubicon Eco coming. It will be used for mild crawling but mainly setup for camping and adventuring with a bedrack and tent including gear … (yea thats right there is no such thing as overlanding in the US). I Would rather have a little rake than sag in the rear

What I am seeing is Falcon 3.3 shocks don’t fit Eco diesel??? Anyone hear of this or is this a thing?

The falcon 3.3’s won’t work up front as components live where the reservoir would live.

As far as I know the only lift kit specific for the diesel is the Mopar option.

Think I got it figured out, they make a ecodiesel specific 3.3 that no one really has in stock yet

yes Falcon has developed a 3.3 for the diesel. It uses a shorten reservoir so it doesn’t interfere with those components. I don’t think that specific shock has been released yet, I could be wrong on that.

They also have one in development for Mojave but it hasn’t been released yet. That’s what I’m kind of waiting on

I believe there are a few companies making the Ecodiesel lift now. Rock Krawler and AEV are the only two that come to mind. Maybe a couple others. iKon? Clayton says it's not diesel specific but it will carry the weight of it. Rusty's possibly too.

That is fantastic news. I’d love to upgrade my shocks to the falcons at some point. They are supposed to ride way nicer than the Mopar ones I’m on now, which I love btw, but would love some adjustability.

I was unaware of the Falcon figment issues when I ordered Clayton‘s 3.5” kit. My Gladiator went into the shop on 20 December and they let me know the Falcon’s did not fit and I am having to settle for what they can find short notice. My vehicle is still at the shop waiting for new shocks… :mad:

i have evos 4.5” kit using some cheap bilsteins, I’ll upgrade later but king and fox all make shocks too. You could also go to coil overs at that price point

Concur regarding the price point, but received some good news that the shop found some Fox shocks that should fit the bill until I can find a better solution.
