Operation full send... screw it.

[friskeljr]

I have an overland, was contemplating different lifts and wheel set ups i wanted. Then I got the orders overseas and found out I have to have factory optioned suspension.
I got an awesome deal on Mojave springs, and even more killer deal on a set of rubi shocks. I was going to go with falcons, but those would have been almost 5 times what i got the rubis for.

I feel like I should just send it, i havent seen anyone else swap in Mojave springs on an Overland....

Maybe Ill just build a Mojaverland...

I think during my nights of insomnia that you have an overland that you swapped in different things. at least the profile pic looks familiar.

if it was you, still likeing the rubi stuff

 

[friskeljr]

forgot, this was the chart where i saw the rubi and mojave shocks have very similar travel and dimensions

 

[friskeljr]

its gonna happen. just got the shocks in today

I feel as if the Rubicon rear shocks (the Rubicon Fox take-offs) are bouncing like the original Overland rears did. Hit a bump or pavement dip and the rear bounces like it did originally.
The ride is harsh - likely the combination of extra weight from the steel bumper, winch on the front and the max tow rear springs. It definitely is a harsher ride across rough tracks, our pavement buckles and pot holes. Repairs and patches in the roads are harsh.
It seems as if it has gotten worse with time.
I don't like the bounce the rear end has after a year with the Fox shocks.

What I like is that the truck's butt doesn't sag with payload like it used to. There was a time when 500-600 pounds in the back dropped the back badly. Now it doesn't drop it much at all. 350 pounds of trailer tongue drops it only about 1/2". It used to drop it much more.

I figure swapping the Rubicon fox shocks on buys time - but mine didn't really hold up well.

i got a killer deal on rubi take off for this. figured they would do while i save up for falcons, or something else. so far it is amazingly better. probly cause they are newish shocks. definately a good change from stock overland crap

ive thought that I got shotty jtmt springs from the outset. My TT droped the rear a good bit with 450lbs of tongue weight. Its been a while but I remember it being in the area of 1.5-2in of drop. Enough that I got the airlift bags.

I actually just recently got a pair of 2021 jtmt take off that are on their way. Im wondering if theyll make a difference

mine didnt last either. I got a set of fox 2.0s im very pleased with.
