Great info! Some of these concepts still apply to other vehicles. I’m in the same boat now on my Bronco. Running Bilstein 6112s now and the ride was a bit too firm at the upper lift settings. Now down to clip 4 rides a lot better and didn’t lose much height at all. Considering clip 3 now for a little bit less preload and softer feeling at low speed on the rocks. I know the shocks are digressive but trying to get the most out of things since I got the shocks for free from Ford on a recall. Swapping out the rear controls did free up things in the back and the ride is better along with noticing a bit more flex on the rocks. If all else fails I will get some different coilovers that are adjustable like Fox or BRBN off-road.
Another great video. Ali- since you have ran Rock Krawler, why do you think they seem to be the only ones who don’t offer geometry correction brackets on their mid-arms?
3.5 Clayton full lift kit. Drives great until I get on the highway. At 65+ the wheel always pulls left hard. Others have suggested changing out the gas steering damper that came with the kit back to stock. Any thoughts?
Glad you started with tire pressure. Jeep specifies too high a pressure for various reasons, primarily fuel economy. 37 PSI for a 315/70-17 is WAY TO HIGH. I'm running 28-30 in my wife's 2-door Rubicon with the factory 285/70-17s and while still a bit stiff (it's a 2-door) it's SO MUCH BETTER than 37.
tts not a prius
Thx for all the info brother
Sell it and buy a Bronco Raptor
Why all the ink?

Great info. Whats your opinion on portals.
Isn’t it the exact opposite? Higher positive caster makes the steering heavier and lower caster makes it lighter?

40psi is delightful
And ya get 0 tire wear
The other thing people do is buy the most expensive shock that is way overvalved for daily driving and then wonder why it rides rough.
