ÖholbunchHow many more HP did those shocks give on the dyno run?
just getting some measurements... certainly more photos to come in the coming weeks. Reach out to the guys at Ohlins USA and let them know your ready for some.
I was hoping maybe there would be an easy coil over conversion from Ohlins on the way... that would be worth some money for sure!
Check out the JK forums about coilovers and the AEV kit. It's not for the faint of heart to do either the conversion, nor living with it for a DD. For a trail-rig and desert-type runner it makes sense.
I have looked into coil overs for a few years for a JKU, but it seemed like more work involved than warranted for the payoff. Now on a TJ, that has been stretched and narrowed it worked great. I would love an “easy” conversion for everyone who is not using their vehicles as dedicated trail rigs or rock crawlers. I have been debating keeping my WJ2 Trailhawk and buying a rock crawler TJ for that alone, but overall I would much rather build out one nice “overland” setup. That was th intent when I ordered my Trailhawk, but after taking it out in CO and MOAB I decided it was not the platform for me. I plan to order a JLU Rubicon in the next few weeks. I am moving to AZ, so just working out the timing of the trips out to look at houses and delivery of the new vehicle. My Trailhawk was a factory order that went wrong and took almost 4 months. I hope that’s not the case with the Rubicon.
I run 12" King's on my DD and love it, to me it rides better than most luxury cars on the road and even better off especially in the rocks. It is however labor and money intensive to go that route on the JKU, everything from the transfer case to the tires has been replaced to run a very dialed in JKU. What I would suggest is wait a little bit, with the rears being outboard I feel that going to coil-overs will possibly be easier and less intensive as it is right now with the JK's.
I hope this doesn't start a riot.
