How To Fix Your Jeep's Off Road Suspension!!
It's actually pretty common for most off road vehicles to ride like a dump truck. But what most people don't realize is that it doesn't have to be that way! Although most Jeep and 4x4 suspension is generically valved from the manufacturer, with little to no consideration for the actual weight and setup of your off road vehicle...that's not always the case. For instance, Bilstein's 8100 series bypass shocks can be bought specifically valved for a Wrangler or a Gladiator.
BUT, even if your off road suspension isn't setup like this from the start, that doesn't mean you have to suffer with a crappy ride both on and off road. Shock tuning exists, and we went to Shock Jesus (of Liberty Mountain Fab) to show you how it can change your/our lives.

Kevin, they have these cool invitations, their called "Gas Cans"! Jeeps have been carrying them for years. Look into them. Good idea.
I have driven through central NV many times going from Idaho to the hammers, it truly is no man’s land. You break down or run out of gas your probably without cell service and far away from help. Being 100% reliant is necessary out there. Safe travels!
Phil is magic with shocks. He made my truck so much better.
I've been on and dealt with a lot of whoops, or "whoop-de-whoops" as we've always called multiple whoops together, and I have to say I'm impressed with how well it handles them. That speaks volumes about the suspension.
I’ve never had so much enjoyment to see the same Jeep being rebuilt over and over again ,thanks you’re show rocks❤
Phil and Sarah are the best people! Anybody, if you’re looking to have work done to your rig, especially suspension, this is the number one guy. Liberty Mountain fabrication. He’s been in the game for a long time. Definitely money well spent
Kevin’s continuous nervous laughter is funny and sad all at the same time.
I miss the bomber so much!! Absolutely one of my favorite vehicles I’ve ever seen.
Kevin, you rocked the “Blue Steel” face going into the 55 mph run.
Phil is a funny guy, do more with him.
Wow. Just wow. That video was perfect to show what a huge difference an expensive set of shocks can make.
Phil is awesome definitely one of the top shock tuners my stuff he did is just amazing.
Your reaction on that last bump was priceless! LOL
You're the best! 1st!! This is my obligatory comment to enhance your KZread algorithm performance. 😊
Sweet Litebrite! Demonchild is my 2nd favorite Jeep of all time ;) My Jeep is #1 🎉
"...back in my younger days..." Kevin, you ARE n your young days still! See me in thirty years! That DemonChild is so good! Looked great going over the "whoops". Nice to know people with skills. Poor Brit, having to to go without your laughter! LIteBriteNationSeparationShock!
You guys live by me. I take that trail at night all the time in my raptor it’s a blast!
Super awesome to see you guys go to my hometown to get work done on the demon child. Never thought I would see it on a KZread channel like this.
The one and only Shock Jesus! 😎
One of the best semi fpv vids I’ve watched. I loved that run from the back seat Kevin!
That super charger sounds so savage in the video!
I got older and wiser too, but when it's time to go, you go!! Then you shake your head and wonder.... :-)
Man what a journey, Kevin do not floor it. Love the video!!!!
13th! I have to find different springs for my WK. HD springs are just too tight!
There is nothing better than watching suspension work.
How many people give thumbs up just because we love LITEBRIGHT !!!
I wish my jeep felt half as good as what this looked like. I have the RK 3.5" triple rated springs and bilstien 5100s. It works great on the rocks, but it is very hard to drive on any bumpy/small rocked trail. I'm not sure what I need to do to make it handle better. I don't think I wanna go softer because it works great and flexes out good on the rock crawling side of things already. The faces!!! Lmao, that whole section of this was just hilarious. "My face is just stupid" bro, you did way better than I would have for sure. I couldn't imagine being the one filmed while driving that thing out there!! Lmao. Definitely would love to come out and see how that actually feels. Hopefully, someday, I'll get out that way and try to swing in if y'all we're available, of course. Where is Kevin's sponsorship for Monster? Lmao, almost every video he has the white monster now.
That suspension looks great! I have travel envy!
His face had the look of a man who seen his destiny....LOL. "Take it up ten he says......It's going to be fun, he says."
I wanna know why Lite Brite shirts weren't made with the glgace Kevin was making while going through the whoops. 😂 Fun video and looks like a great time testing.
Splooge vette, I'm loving the new name! I expect to see decals made up for it while it sits out of commission... LOL
Man that was really tough watching someone else drive the demonchild like he frickin stole it!!!! I mean I know it can handle it but still I was like, “who’s this guy think he is?!” Lol
Hey I like the paint job on the vette I think it’s sick
Someone needs to show Kevin how to download Google maps to his phone so they will work without service.

Kevin that looks awesome in those whoops That has to be a blast to drive
Use the APPS in the infotainment system. It actually shows you the closest gas stations and also shows the prices. Comes included for a few years and it uses Sirius XM It’s saved me several times on road trips
This was awesome , dude!
Looked awesome going over those gravel turds !!
Impressive work... made that Ole broke down Demon shine... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will you guys ever do anything for us guys who have limited funds and can't afford all the high dollar stuff ? Love your podcasts but it'd be nice to see something on how the rest of us have to live . Merry Christmas !
I guess the "alone time" will not be recorded...LOL :-)
Needed one more "test drive"- In the dark with the Giggler in the front seat and Kevin in the back seat to see if he still sweated bullets.
Would love to see your face when homeboy was driving that night would have been awesome to see that during the day also
The Spooge Vet and The Spooge Demon 😈
About time you work on that suspension. Went out with you on that Trail Hero run to Toquerville and watched that thing start to fall apart. Honestly didn’t expect the build worth so much $$ to be a POS.

That was its first time Offroad. Was a shake down run and everything was brand new. Working out small things is all part of doing big frame off builds for the first time
Kevin, thanks for sharing this!!! Pick it up 10 that looked freaking awesome . You broke my street jeep 🤣🤣🤣. Great video ❤❤💯🤙
Slowmo face had me busting a gut laughing hahahahaha Good stuff!
I don’t think there’s was any way possible for Kevin to not make a weird face going that fast and bouncing around! 😂😂😂 But looks like the man gotcha set up right!
What did my face look like…..in slow-mo you can clear see a pee check.
One word - AWESOME - !!!!!
Put supercharger in the Splooge Vet That will be Sucking a lot Of air
Hello Kricket 👋 ❤❤💯🤙
Great video Kevin as always ! I'm going to contact Phil this spring to see if he will take a look at my Fox shocks . They have always felt a little stiff to me . Take care sir .

I prefer Fox shocks that's what I run. they are sponsored by Bilstein I am sure. enough said
9:18 - Going out on a guess here; Kev. would prefer to drive, (clearly see why after this segment); not be a passenger. {That off road drive was a *excessive* throttle pressure on a pumped up: Hemispherical combustion chamber 🔥⚡️engine}. 🤦
Living your best lives!
I think that Jeep should always carry spare gas with it.. Just in case.. 😂🤣 What are that called.. ROTO-Paks?
I would love to have those shocks & suspension on my JT rubicon!
If your not learning than you just wasting your time! Don't worry Brittany you'll survive being away from Kevin! Happy Trails to all of you!
Good job Kev
Maybe 2 rotopacks for the back would be a good idea .lol

What good is another 3/4 of a mile of gas going to do them? 😱🤣
Ok…..not “spooge vette”………”drift stain”???
Why didn't Kevin carry at least one Roto-Pax (fuel) with him in the Demon Child?
Kevin I wish I would of know you were going to be in Reno I would of loved to come meet you in person. I live just an hour away from Reno in CA
That’s incredible.
That little blip on the peddle cost ya 10 gallons lol
That's almost dessert racer stuff... 🙂
A night alone, PARTY!
KEVIN, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MAPS FOR OFFLINE USE
Your jeep is sick brother your buddy knows his shit that thing was crushing the bumps!
Never commented, but this video was classic I just had to say Kevin you made me laugh pretty hard and awesome video
$5.00 for 91 octane?!! And here I was complaining the other day about $3.65 for 93 octane. Dang!
I loved the facial expressions. You had me rolling on the floor laughing.
Hello I am searching for the video where the battery left you stranded and you gave a tip about doing something to avoid having the issue?

So Awesome!
I have been married 15 years. And in all that time my wife and I have spent 7 nights all together away from one another. It's very hard to fall asleep because the first night we were ever apart was after 13 years of marriage. But great job you two for being best friends,that's a rare quality to enjoy each other's company. But it's so amazing I know.

Yes, rolling out now. Current Tacoma on-sale now, many more to follow. Also on UTV shocks coming out next month.
Pass everything on the road …..except the gas station lol
No don't worry about it there's always in that area out there a lonely trucker Somewhere Out There
SPLOUGE VET!!!
It’s natural that the heavier weight is in top.
91 in a supercharged motor 🤢 but I guess it’ll have to do with no 93 available
Hi ive owned my jeep for 6 year and i wanted to go with they name DEMON CHILD they first week of owning my jeep now will that effect it being they name of your jeep

That Jeep goes entirely too fast through the whoops ….with a race seat and harness you’d of looked like you were out for a Sunday drive. I’m betting that stokes the ultra4 or trophy truck discussion again !?!
so fun....
