I've got the plastic front bumper and have not heard it thump when going over train tracks or potholes. I've only noticed the thump with my driveway curb pulling in at a straight approach over 8 mph going at a angle is not a problem and is quiet.
Think rebuilding the Kings or Fox's would be easier.
I ran Rancho RS7MT shocks while I waited for my King 2.0, honestly not much of a difference until you hit bad washboard or high speed stuff. Kings look way cooler though...
I would imagine the Kings outperform the Rancho on washboard by factors too. I’m old school though so I don’t haul butt on washboards. I’ve been tempted to get Kings because of their reputation and looks. I presently have the stock Rubicons and I think the suspension is perhaps a little soft as the butt seems to compress a bit on the freeway bumps. Might even be a bit bouncy for my liking. But I haven’t really gotten any trails done yet for final thoughts. We went from rainy (and muddy) to hot this year. Doctors appointments have been eating up off roading opportunities too.
No, but you need to understand that a TSB is not the same thing as a recall. A recall needs to be performed unlike a TSB which is basically just a heads up of how to fix a particular issue that falls outside of normal service manual instructions/troubleshooting. A recall entitles you to getting the outlined service done at no charge to you, whereas a TSB does not once the vehicle it outside its warranty period.
Hey thanks for recommending these springs! I just installed them yesterday. I gained about 2.25" of lift. I expect them to settle closer to advertised. But I'm very happy with them so far. Top is before . Bottom is after. (Pictures down play it). But it looks much better in person. The front end sat way to low from the factory. And it still has a slight forward rake, which is exactly what I was wanting.
