Not today, but last week, I finally got my shocks, took 3 months (covid) , but it was well worth the wait. These things are awesome! I haven’t got to wheel with them yet, probably this weekend. But I’ve been messing with them on the highway and all I can say is....wow! It’s sweet to be able to dial in the handling. I’m still messing with them but so far I’m liking less nose dive braking, and less squat accelerating. Corners like a stock car.

Also I got the ones for a 4.5-6” lift so I wouldn’t give up any extended length.

Copycat, but it looks so good!

I've had the same shocks on mine for about two weeks and LOVE them. Curious how many clicks from full soft are you running the large knob? I'm at 4 clicks off full soft.

I’m still experimenting, but right now I’m at 2 clicks on high speed, and 5 on the low speed.

I'm still sticking to light stuff, planning on tackling more complex/spendy stuff soon enough. Pulled the Wrangler Sport stickers from both sides easy enough, but removing the dealership sticker was a pain - of course each letter was individually cut :mad:

Luckily the sun had beat on that spot all day, so though I had to scrape each digit off, they came simple enough. I then found they'd used something like triple the required adhesive, just to insure you made a nasty mess if you tried. So, ran to to the store and grabbed some goo gone:

While I was at it, I went ahead and gave her the inaugural home wash, and added another Easter egg or two of my own:

I know this may not be the correct place to ask, but what are y'all using for your cleaning care?

Chemical Brothers has different car care packages. Got mine off Amazon. They also have a bunch of videos on YouTube. I've been happy with their products.

Looks awesome, and glad to hear of the improved ride! Look forward to hearing your off road thoughts.

Do you use limiting straps? Or, do you think they may be needed with your new longer extending Fox's? Lately, I've been wondering if I might need them when I upgrade my lift.

Man, I read this first thing this morning when my eyes and mind were still a little foggy. The C and L kinda blended together. And I was worried that I was in the wrong forum.

2022 Jeep Wrangler JLU
Srayed 3M rubberized undercoating under the trunk and in the trunk (supposedly reduces noise).

Rebuilding salvadge Jeep, getting to the point of installing a tailgate.

Did you replace that rear quarter panel?

Thanks brother......., no need for limit straps, my rrds were 29.5 extended, and these are 30.5. I pulled on the spring at full extension, and couldn’t budge it. These RK triple rate springs are pretty long.

IMO, the RK lift is arguably the flexiest on the market, (MC is also ) so I wanted to use every inch of these springs, after all why have it if your not intending to use it, lol.

I don’t think you’ll need straps if you’re also getting their springs as well.

You’re gonna have crazy flex with those. Keep an eye on your diff breather tube, locker wiring , and if not already done it , relocate your brake lines. No need to get longer ones , just change where you mount them. I use the Teraflex brake line brackets , plenty of slack with these.

Factory order JL once I finalize the configuration..
I'd have to see this.... Not something I would consider doing.
Allison transmissions in the 2500hd’ and 3500hd’s chevy and GMC pickups that have either the 8.1 liter big block or 6.6 liter Duramax diesels come standard from the factory with one. They commonly don’t get noticed and are thrown away with the Spin on filter by guys who don’t look at the old filter and peel it off to transfer it to the new filter.
Here is picture of the “kit” for replacing a lost or damaged magnet. When I bought my truck used the magnet was missing but since then I always just buy only the filter and reuse the magnet.

I know in my regard to canister filters on vehicles that use them..


I'm talking JL 3.6 engine, and it's cartridge oil filter...

Oh crap we have cartridge filters??? Yuk!
I didn’t know as I haven’t touched my oil yet as mine only has about 450 miles on the clock..
I’m of the opinion to leave well enough alone though, if the factory didn’t put a magnet in there who am I to say it needs one.. Plus I drive vehicles for a living. I’ll be long past sick of driving my Jeep before it gets a couple hundred thousand miles on it and the motor gets wore out.. I’ve taken a half dozen vehicles to 250k and by that time I am “wanting” the engine to blow up so I’m not a synthetic oil, extra engine care kind of guy unless the manual states I need to use it.
But then again I’m also not an aftermarket exhaust, intake system and performance chip guy either. My engines due tend to naturally last the life of the vehicles I drive while only performing normal recommended service intervals..
