I think this might be the opposite. Overdamped taken to an extreme would mean zero suspension movement. I expect this to have the highest possible acceleration reading when hitting a bump.

That just shows min/max forces. A completely undamped spring (no shocks) would show the same. I'm not saying there isn't an improvement with the new shocks, but time is a factor when discussing ride quality. Undamped: Damped:

You could compare your ride height to the stickey... https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/forums/suspension-steering-chassis.22/ Stock Rubicon shock eye-to-eye distances are around 20" front, 22.5" rear. Rubicon X is exactly the same unless you have the 315s, then add 1.5" to the Rubicon...

What's old is new. AKA hashtags...

I wish there was an override switch that turned off all the eTorque related features (except what was required for engine charging). I want to know how much it is/isn't doing with regards to initial launch, shifting, regenerative braking etc.

Like a battery replacement mount for four typical 12V batteries or two 24V... I wonder if the discharge rate would be fast enough. Or if the cooling circuit would still be needed (maybe it's for the DC/DC converter?)

How does it flex? Do you notice driveline vibrations at specific heights when in 4WD? Is it possible to override pressures at each corner? Like if I was going up a steep hill, could I raise the back and lower the front?

Azz?

I can pretend I know a little about this... I quadrupled the spring rates in another vehicle and increased the ride quality at the same time. Proper damping is important, and a low spring rate (or overdamped shock) can be just as bad as high spring rate with too little damping. Realistically...

FWIW: in my experience 2-doors have a higher front spring rate than similarly equipped 4-door.

FWIW: there's also the JT Max Tow fenders, based off of the Sport fenders. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/max-tow-fenders-this-is-what-they-look-like.16818/ And the non USDM Jeeps:

Remote mount the oil filter in a method that doesn't require holding below (horizontal).

I've been using 20" front, 22.5" rear for my JLR. And when new it was more like 21" front... but that was clearly wrong. The headlights were adjusted way too high and the shocks would top-out when accelerating.

FWIW: Not all eTorques shown, and I should probably go though and correct it. This wasn't part of the original criteria for this spreadsheet, and I still don't see any indication that Jeep addresses eTorque in their spring selection. I remember reading about a typo in the Mopar lift...

I've found multiple eTorque 2.0, 3.6, & XR Jeeps with different front springs. See this spreadsheet.

Stiffness ≠ ride height. Jeep made at least 206 unique springs to fine tune this. Yes a stiffer spring will ride higher than a softer one, but only if all other parameters are the same. From what I understand, the 2-door stiffer front springs are due to its shorter wheelbase. Jeep probably...

I've seen no correlation between eTorque & spring part numbers. 2-door front is stiffer, rear is generally the same rate.

Found a 2-door XR (Willys) front spring: 68605687AA. This should be about 1.5" lift on a typical 2-door Rubicon. Plus it should have a stiffer rate than 4-door XR front springs (2-doors typically get stiffer front springs). From...

Nice. This is definitely a new front spring
