I went with the 2.0 Fox DSC kit with the Adventure Tune, AGM coilover sliders, and we paired it with Metal Cloak arms. What interested me about this kit is the custom shock tuning and how they allow you to swap springs so you get a great ride from the start. Everything is super high quality from the Fox shocks to the Eibach springs.

Per Accutune the 2.0's offer a softer ride vs the 2.5's on and offroad, and while I’ve never tried the 2.5's I’m loving the way my 2.0's ride. I like a plush ride that is controlled with not too much body roll that doesn't beat you up at the end of a long trail, and that's exactly what this kit delivers for me. With the DSC's I can adjust the ride to my liking depending on the terrain, I stiffen on road for less body roll and better cornering, and soften for the trails, I love this feature it really makes a difference.

The install went smooth, we ended up switching out the front springs as I didn't like how tall the front end was (again this is the beauty of Accutune). I’m at about 3" of lift, with 5" of up travel, which is awesome as I didn't want to go too tall. A nice balance of up travel and down travel allowing the suspension to properly cycle which I can attest equals to a great ride on and offroad! The Metalcloak arms are working great with this kit. Everything is very quiet, I’m sure the AGM sliders are helping in that.

I will be replacing my wheels with KMC Machete beadlocks as my current wheels with 4.75 backspacing will rub the front reservoirs at full stuff requiring more bump stop limiting some up travel, new wheels should resolve that so I can run less bump. Accutune recommends at least 4.0 backspacing for 37’s so I was aware prior to the install that my wheels may not work.

Overall it is a very well balanced kit that performs great pretty much right out of the box without any modifications or additional tuning/spring costs. I don’t have any binding, shocks don’t hit the frame, and new wheels should resolve any rubbing issues.

I'll be updating this post with more pics and vids as I complete more trails and have more feedback.

Sorry in advance for all the spotting chatter, my wife and I take turns spotting and filming. This is Corral Canyon OHV trail, it's full of fun tight rocky trails. Accutune kit did great, we were very pleased with how well it handled everything.

Latest update, we’re now running KMC Machete beadlocks, it gave us enough clearance to run 2” bump stops front & rear, we can really stuff our 37’s now. 8psi in the rocks is awesome, more grip and the ride is so much softer. Accutune kit is still working awesome, no issues to report, having fun testing it’s capabilities. Here a few clips from our latest trip.

I'm only seeing the accutune 2.0 kit coilover kit for those that already have a suspension lift in a bolt on. I noticed in your picture the coilover mount was welded to the top of the spring bucket. The only welded mounts I can find are for the 2.5" kit. Did you just put in the bolt on kit and go ahead and weld it or am I missing something?

The shop I worked with that did the install welded mounts for added strength, but it is not necessary, it is a bolt on kit.

It can also be quicker. Instead of drilling and securing with all the bolts, you just clean it up and weld it. Can be installed either way depending on your skill level.

Appreciate the replies. I've been reading into the accutune coilovers lately and have a fairly similar set up at the moment minus the coilovers. 3.5" Gamechanger with arms, -38mm dirtylifes with 37x12.50 ko2's, but a 3.6L e-torque...Really wish I would have read more into the e-torque before I purchased this one, would have ponied up the extra for the diesel.

Put the Jeep through it's paces over Memorial weekend, completed a couple Badge of Honor trails in Big Bear with a group of friends. Accutune kit did great keeping the Jeep planted!
