JLUR 6sp ordered 11/3/21, picked up 8/30/22
Now I understand....I might try a set of those before I send the shocks back to Accutune for a re-tune. According to Accutune a retune should help the body roll that I'm experiencing....
Part of what you pay for with Accutune is tuning to your needs and your vehicle's set up. I'd let them tune it based on your feedback of what you're experiencing, before I'd throw more aftermarket parts at the solution.

I have a 2020 JLUR on RK springs and STT Pros and would air down to 15 psi without beadlocks - it rode great wheeling with the RK RRD shocks. Since then, I’ve upgraded for the DSCs and beadlocks but haven’t made it out to the trails again yet. I run three ‘clicks’ on both the high and low settings and it’s been phenomenal so far on the road for what it’s worth.

If you do, I'd recommend reducing your bump extensions by an inch. It's not specified on the MC site, but that was the recommendation Corey had on their podcast. That's the compressed thickness of the Durosprings.

I ordered a set of the Durosprings from MC....can't hurt....relatively low cost....Do you happen to know the podcast episode # for the discussion you mentioned?

It must have been in December or January. It wasn’t really a whole segment, they were talking about what they had done recently and Corey says he put a set on the Gladiator and talks about them for a bit.

I haven't even thought about bump stops...are you getting much body roll in the rocks?
I would have body roll in the rocks if I didn't stiffen the fast speed adjuster.

I talked to Accutune about the LS & HS adjusters impact on body roll....the low speed adjuster has the biggest impact on body roll with about 10% being impacted by the high speed adjuster...

I am sorry, I misunderstood what you and I are experiencing on the trail.

What I am referring to is a rocking feeling at anything faster than a crawl.. Like standing in a row boat. And my FS adjustment eliminates that feeling.

OP, I know we conversed by text regarding my shock settings. I dont think I knew you had the STT Pros which I had on my JK. Great tire but I always aired down to 6-8psi with those but with beadlocks. I am running 37" BFG KO2s about 12-15psi on stock 392 wheel when off road and air to 28 psi for the pavement. For other members following, my Fox DSC remote res 2.5 shocks lo speed set at 3 clicks from softest end, high speed set at 3 clicks from stiffest setting. These are non Accutuned shocks purchased from another widely known Jeep accessories store.

At some point I will probably send the shocks back to Accutune for a re-tune. If I air down to 12 (no beadlocks) and set the HS to 4 from softest setting and LS all the way CW I still get a significant amount of body roll.

I’m heavier, but I’ve worked my way up to 32 psi with the 37” KO2s on road and had a better steering feel without any noticeable ride quality sacrifice compared to 28.

Whatever happened?
Status quo or did you go for the re-tune?

Based on my experience with Accutune do yourself a favor and just sell those shocks and get a set of ADS 3 tube bypass shocks that are tuned for what your doing. I would talk to Phil Licciardi owner of Liberty Mountain Fab, you can get his info on Facebook or PM me.

After spending $$$ to have my C/O-Bypass shocks shipped and retuned 2x's by Accutune I went to Phil's and had him fix them.

The ADS 3 tubes are the best you can get and will come tuned based on Phil's experience on doz of JL and JT's. He will also retune them if you need it.

If you can get to his shop he will take you out on his desert course and show you just how good a properly tuned shock can work.

Another option go to Phils or call him about redoing your Fox shocks and have him setup your shocks. Best is a live tuning session.
