FYI. I ended up returning the the 140# EC. I liked the centering, but prefer a stiffer steering wheel. I also felt some bump steer and I removed the EC, put the Fox 2.0 back on and it disappeared. I am hypersensitive to shimmies and bumps since having experienced DW. I ordered the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2.. I hope it suits my needs.

Looks like 1.5'' bump as well.. go roky! My local 4wp reps said i needed limit straps.. i said GTFO

Limit straps are a good idea to keep the shocks from bearing weight and stress, but I wouldn’t let 4WP pet my dog.

I find it funny when people say "you shouldn't use your shocks as a limiting factor" yet that's exactly what the factory shocks do.

The factory suspension binds before the shocks reach full extension. Limit straps are still a good idea for shock longevity.

I can assure you that the factory shocks 100% bottom out. Most of the jls only have 2-3.5" of down travel from the factory. The suspension isn't going to bind before it hits that.

It's really interesting the level of misinformation you get from those guys.. we just have 4WP's in every neighborhood here in the Denver area and I have a 12 month interest free card via them.

I'll stop in the local one on weekends and check out the employees jeeps, old broncos, trucks. I'll find a really knowledgeable employee I get a repertoire with, and in 3 months he's gone so yeah.. hit and miss.

Yeah Kevin’s got an awesome build for sure…..I can’t compete with his 5-7K shock package……best I can do is 42”….. and when you’re old like me you have to use a ladder…….?

Yeah my rears are Extended Length: 30.51 in and I'm running 2.5'' springs lol.

Those bilstein bypasses are sweet however Ohlins makes some JL adjustable shocks https://www.ohlins.com/product/road-track/jev-mu00/

I can't imagine they have anything on King/Fox but they're the worldwide kings of dampers. Crazy...


When I hit the lottery I might try those.

what you've done with your Jeep is just amazing.. make a backyard ramp and play!!

You most definitely have one of the bang for the buck Jeeps on this site... you can either toss money or do what you've done

Well to honest I just made an assumption. My factory suspension came off within weeks of getting the Jeep home. I'd still incorporate limit straps if you're going to do serious wheeling with a lift that allows maximum articulation. Good shocks are expensive, straps are cheap.
