Question on Rubicon Takeoffs

[Smoke Showing]

Check for oil seepage on the shocks. speed bumps and potholes felt like I was hitting a curb. Ended up finding driver front and passenger rear were leaking. That was at 30k miles.

So you still have the black Sport shocks? If so, that's a big part of the problem.

No I have the Rubicon shocks too.

I have pretty much the same setup, the stock Rubi shocks are pretty soft vs. anything aftermarket, don't think the shock change would help w/ the ride characteristics you're after. Like others mentioned, getting those tire to a lower psi could make just the difference you're wanting.

I ended up w/ Fox 2.0 shocks and it's firmer still, but in a more controlled way, not as mushy. I have my tires about 30 psi FWIW.

At 30psi do you get the low pressure warning?

At 30psi do you get the low pressure warning?

I have a tazer lite, so not a problem, you probably would without it.

I do mostly just dirt roads but also some more gnarly trails. I haven't really aired down since it takes so long to add air again with my compressor. I usually run about 38psi. I haven't tried disconnecting the swaybar either. I have 285/70R17s mud terrain.
When I go over potholes the whole jeep shakes and rolls.

38 cold is gonna be close to 40-41 when warmed up on the road, which is too high for an M/T (IMO). I keep my BFG KO2s around 35-36 warmed up. From what I've read in other tire threads, M/Ts sometimes like even less than that.

From what I remember, the Low PSI warning turns on around 32 psi. Good luck!

I will see how it rides with a little less psi. I have 285/70R17s and usually run them at 38-40. If you run at 32 do you get the low pressure warning?

Yes but ignore till I get my tas r
