    Great video. And giving references of common lengths used for which application/setting helped a bunch make sense in mind. Looking forward to more 🤙🏾

    Thanks for this video, How would I work out the figures you mentioned for a different vehicle? I'm running a Suzuki Jimny which is MUCH smaller. Your figures: 5" droop and 4" up travel I assume is for a large Jeep. Is there a radio or percentage that one should use? let's say I only have 4" of total travel, should you be setup 50% droop and 50% compression etc?

    This is a basic "how to" for a solid axle/coilover setup, just using a Jeep as the example. Take a look at the full article for more info on recommended up travel vs total travel, 4" on a solid axle is extremely limiting. accutuneoffroad.com/articles/choosing-the-right-coilover-shocks-for-your-build-universal-fit-coilovers/

    Great video, that helps a ton. This might be a stupid question but do you use the same process to measure for rear shock absorbers?

    Yes, same basic idea but a little easier since that axle doesn't steer and usually has more room for up travel.

    8:55 when dialing everything in should i not have the bumpstop stop my shock travel with 3/8” shaft showing before the coilover bottoms out? Did you end up adjusting the bumpstop when you were done to do this?

    Under articulation its different. We set bump stops at full bump (both sides). Usually when articulating the suspension off-road, you are moving much slower.

    I'm been having hard time trying to figure out lift increments with coilovers for a long time. How do I decipher height i want if I'm looking for a 6" to 8" lift on ride height of my truck of which one I need to ger that?

    If you are looking to get coilovers for your truck in the 6-8" lift height range, you will need to search for a kit with those descriptions. I'm not sure what truck you have or if those kits exist. Thats a very tall lift so there may or may not be a kit out there for you.

    I understand, but there is more to it than that. Once you have the front axle mocked up, you can set the chassis to that 5-6.5" desired lift height and you can start measuring for shocks. Solid axle swap with linked suspension will require a lot of fab work so this will be a process @@genoory5090

    @@accutuneoffroad I know its a lot of work. Nothing to familiar I can't do. I just don't want to get 16" down travel or 18" down travel coilover that's way to long for my application. And most of all, I'm not planning on cutting into my fender well for it to fit inside my hood. Maybe I need a 10" travel" or 12 travel" coilover.
