Shock tuning on an off road vehicle can make a night vs day difference when it comes to suspension performance! Trying to get our Ultra4 car dialed in for King of the Hammers gave us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate this, with the help from a good friend!
Hope you all enjoy the video!

    I have to admit I was wrong. I initially thought this was a bad idea and a possibly a distraction to the channel but this is the content I look forward to the most now. What makes these videos work is your enthusiasm and excitement for this project which gets the rest of us excited. Keep it coming!

    In motocross, they aim for the top of each whoop. If you hit them fast, dropping the front into a deep hole is where it gets messy. Your buggy is flying!! Bottoming out is what really makes your rear kick up so making sure that doesn't happen is key. Now your shocks seem good and the bumpstops are in the right place. Give em hell!!

    If its 4 wheels and goes off road I love it. Enjoying this content as much as the jeep stuff although I do miss seeing the step child playing. Sadly I recently sold my 2018 Wrangler JL. Well I didn't really sell it so much as trade it in. Dealer offered me super trade in that paid it off and gave me back what I originally put down on it on top of the payoff, so I couldn't refuse parting with my Jeep. Then I bought a black 2021 Gladiator! They were selling them at pretty good discounts since sales on them are slow and covid has really hurt the car sales for the year. Upgraded trim, and I can now tow. The only problem is my wife wants to drive it all the time. LoL

    Good progress, and quick progress. so some words of advice, loose whoops tuning is the easiest to get working. After hours of heat cycling the shocks work completely different, tuning for heat between coilovers and bypasses is difficult, also good for gouts is usually too much spring for whoops so have to make compromises based on driving style. But you guys are learning quick. 👍🏿

    Back in the day before the shoulder surgeries, knee surgery, and spinal fusion I used to race motorcross, and desert race. Spending time on suspension pays dividends in performance and vehicle longevity. I would see people dump thousands of dollars into their suspension and never tune it. They would simply bolt it on and assume it was what was needed to win.
