sounds great, thank you so much!

I installed my Jimny lift kit and added the hex adapters, Beast mode has begun... I am debating getting this kit or the lift blocks... either will solve my slight (under heavy power) body rub... I may even get both... Sleekun, you have awesome products imo....

thank you sir i appreciate that! i also have some shock spacers which i used to sell but then just started including in the kit with the roof racks.......i may post them back for sell individually as i like them to help with general sag or torque twist etc....obviously they aren't needed if you go the Hot Racing shock route but there are definitely options! Can't wait to see beast mode feel free to send me a pic on my ebay or etsy account if you like i'll add to my facebook customer gallery page!

just got your wheels and lift kit in the mail! i’m stoked!

Thanks for the video and development of the parts with links. Just bought the mounts and shocks. Aside from wheel base (10 mm longer) I believe they should work on the Rubicon. I'll Iet you know.

@@SleekRC I got my Rubicon, finally had time to install the hot racing shocks with your mounts. I had to watch your video 3 times and get an hex key that fits the hardware. The mounts work well with the Rubicon. I would suggest using the softer black springs that come with the shocks. The steering linkage from the servo is stretched to its limit and have to trim it out to max setting. Thanks again, looks great and doesn't bounce with the new shocks.

Hey thanks! great question on the hot racing spring kit and suspension blocks, they will fit, however, you may want to source some slightly longer screws to make sure they are long enough to hold the suspension blocks and lower mount system for the conversion kit together good. Thanks again!

Where does the lower shock screws come from. There is no hardware in the kit?

@SleekRC

7 ай бұрын

i think i just responded to you on ebay. the hot racing shocks that are recommended in the listing come with the long screws used to mount top and bottom. if those shocks aren't used you may need to source some long "thin" screws to use.

Very helpful does steel links make any improvements I am about to order them.

@SleekRC

i haven't had any for it, in my opinion steel links adds weight down lower and prevents any bending or binding of the links during hard articulation, but I know a lot of people like metal links. I'd love to know what you think about them when you get them!!!

I'm honestly not sure if the stock scx24 shocks will fit, i've never tried it, i just went straight for the hot racing ones. the adapters i built around the screw size for the hot racing, so i'll have to see if the scx24 stock ones fit that's a good question!

Hi great video, does this setup give it any extra lift or does it stay stock height?

@SleekRC

3 жыл бұрын

if you leave the stiff silver springs on it may give it a little extra height, but i started running the softer black springs that came with the shocks and it actually lets it "droop" a little and has a really soft feel to the suspension which i think i like better than super stiff.

the amount of available travel is about the same as stock, however, i currently have the stiffer springs that come with the HT set on it and they are nearly too stiff even with the adjuster all the way up so it doesn't let the chassis flex as much as stock.....i had the softer springs on it shortly in the beginning and they seemed too soft, but i think i'm going to put the softer springs back on and maybe some heavier weight diff oil and adjust the spring limiter some to see if that helps let it flex better but keep a decent ride height.
