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!
I’m enjoying seeing all the behind the scenes of getting that thing ready to race.

That’s our goal with the videos is to show everyone how much time, energy and dedication that goes into just this one race. It’s crazy. We had no idea it would be this involved

I have learned alot from watching these videos for the last few years.
Phil is the man, I learned who he is years ago, guy can do magic.
So excited to see Child's Play get more dialed in every time! As a racer myself I know from experience how important it is to keep the tires on the ground. Keep the shiny side up 🏁👊😎🤙
Living life your way! Hell yeah!
I can't wait for Kevin racing at King of H.With his experience drifting and crawling his numbers are gonna be with the PRO'S.Thxx guys great video

Finally "Child Support" is looking much more like "Child's Play" !! So glad to see Kevin can finally be the lead foot we've all come to know ;)
Can't wait to see you race!!! Have fun you two!!
You can just see the difference on the video on how well that suspension is keeping those wheels planted on the ground where you need them ! Brilliant work 👍

Thanks for the inspiration you give not only for offroading, but to go and live your life to the fullest everyday!! Shout out to Bilstein.... just installed their 5100 shocks on my 03 gmc dually ... OMG never thought that a shock would make a big difference in the ride but WOW!!! go and get some Bilsteins!!!!
The truck is rock steady now! Can you show us a basic process on how to tune an pick the right shocks?
I also drive a Bomber, 4831. Had Phil shock tune us at KOH. Went from wild and dangerous to smooth and eating everything. Nice to see he helped you guys out too!
Y’all are making me want to forget about the project Jeeps I plan on having and just make an ultra 4 style car instead.

That ultra4 car is sick. Cant wait to see you guys win the king of hammers next year.
Wow...child's play is coming along nicely...gonna be ready for KOH....awesome driving Kevin.....your gonna kill it....Brittany as always...great camera work...Jelly was chilllaxing in the sun 🌞 🐶....egarly awaiting your next video....Safe travels
you guys are so fearless
Good morning jelly , you loving the sunshine in your face !!!!!
Awesome content guys. Excited to see this play out for you both.
Keep going as the both of you are heading in the right direction. The Videos that the both of you put out have great content. I'm 64 years old and have Jeeps for over 44 years and these Videos keep me interested and look forward to them. Thanks to the both of you.
That Ultra4 car is such a beast... It's worth it just to see the excitement on everyone's faces... JELLY!
I love you guys ! I wish you all the success in the world good people like you deserve it!!
Wow, that's so cool. Can't wait to see how you will do out on the course. good luck and love to all.
Man am I excited for you guys that's awesome good luck at king of the hammers
it's awesome seeing the change in it and seeing the body staying flat and level while the suspension does the work.
So sick! I have always wanted one of the ultra4 trucks.
I really love the sound of that Ultra! And I love the metallurgical science behind the build...great video!! Oh, I love Jelly too!!
That was a fun video to watch! Kevin can drive like an animal!!! I will support the companies that help you guys as much as I can. Much love from Louisiana
So many great videos lately so much to catch up with
The difference is amazing!
Well, keep doing it! Love the content.
Sweeet! Super Excited You Both!
You all got this covered. Reminds me of my dirt bike racing days tuning the suspension. Jelly looked really impressed. 😁
Wow! That body just floats almost level now! Amazing all the tech that you are learning, and thanks for showing us! Brit, you are the charmer with the products! Kevin, your speechless grins are just too much fun! Can't wait for KOH - dirt, drifts, rocks and speed! More push ups and squats - both of you! So much TeamWork! And Jelly bites too. LiteBriteNationJumpsTheShocks!
Great video thank you!
Excellent video! You two make the technical stuff so easy to understand, I had no idea you were both teachers like me. Keep up the good work and keep the painted side up. #JellyNation
Ya know, all the other stuff was cool, but the bit with Jelly at the end was my favorite.
Just be careful out there Kevin. Happy trails to you both!

Why wasn't it built right In the first place? Bumped and strapped should be the first thing in mind when building an offroad race vehicle.
Congrats for getting your rig sorted out. Looking good!

I'm cheap, I drilled out my yokes and put in u-bolts for the drive shafts. The car looks great. Can't wait to see it at the Hammers.
It's because you two are so amazing, fun, entertaining & charitable, others love to help you. Child Play looking so awesome. I know y'all perform great, during King of the Hammer. Take care.
We love watching the wrench time.
This is so cool!
Another great video!
Your tow rig is pretty badass, should do an episode on the hauler setup!
Incredible!!!
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!!
Jump looked smooth
I'm so excited to hear that you guys are doing koh!! Thats my home town. I really hope to meat you guys in hammer town.
Excellent job! If you compare the video footage from when you first had the shocks installed you can clearly see the difference, especially in the rear and how it handles the whoops and jumps.
Mad driving skills, hope I can make it to watch you guys at KOH
How do you guys keep sharp on so many different disciplines? just amazing

Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see you guys run in KOTHs!!!
Jelly says no blood no foul, toughen up Momma.
Welcome to Nevada, guys. Hope you stop in more often :)
I love you guys.
Looks really dialed in!
Good luck racing!
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 choice on the u-bolt yokes. I have a 2006 Jeep LJ and all the yokes are u-bolt. I've seen too mant "strap type" fail.
When going super fast gets dangerous? What a novel concept for a Ultra 4. Great job driving Kevin and hope y'all do well come KOH time I'll be rooting for you. L'il Jelly is a trip, ROCK ON!
the Ultra4 is one bad ass machine now it look 100% better then when i saw it last time go get them guys
I rode with a good friend of yours yesterday who SCUBA certified with you, Kelly! Good luck at KOH!!

Loving this ultra 4 car stuff. I like that they have multi layers to the videos such as jeep and the 4 wheeling and rock crawling, drift cards and drifting, baby grom now (haha), side by side (although hasn't seen much of it) and the ultra 4 car. So you get a little of everything instead of just 1 particular thing. I'll just keep saying it when ultra 4 car is in the videos...HOLY SHIT!

I say the same thing...that horsepower sounds fantastic
BUTTERY SMOOTH
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. 👍🏿
What a difference a little Phil magic makes. Child’s Play front end looks way more composed. Hammertown here we come!
It's a mean machine now! And I think Kevin can handle this!!
Love the channel Kevin you might need to learn how to weld on that thing
Kev can drive but the off season will make you learn all over again.
Awesome Ultra 4 Content! You should consider getting yourself an Axial Bomber 1/10 as a mini replica of your Ultra 4 rig!
Drift Jesus and now Shock Jesus???? That's Excellent. I see in that first jump sequence Pinion, juniper, and cheat grass. You are in my neck of the woods! I need to keep up with you guys! You were in/near Carson CIty???? I woulda come down from Reno and bought you guys breakfast. Heck you could have shacked up with us for your stay.

I’m also digging on the ultra 4 content. Still really love the rock crawling tho
Welding chrome-molly steel alloys requires pre-heating the steel before you weld (preferably with the same or similar alloy filler rod) and annealing afterwards. Otherwise the weld is likely to be brittle and break easily.
That Ultra 4 car reminds me of the VW Dune buggies that I grew up with back in California, But Yours is Way Better, wish we Had 1 of those when I was a Kid!🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad to hear about Drift week looking forward to seeing Supra, Corvette stuff coming up

Axial!!!!!!!! Rc!!! Nice!!!
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.

You would be surprised how many people are referred to as this in the offroad world
Looks like the better set up not only keeps you more stable but the physical demand on you has decreased. Hopefully taking the fatigue issue you experienced. Great content that does carry over to the jeep off road builder.
Britt needs more seat time. She needs to be just as dialed in as Kevin to be an effective copilot.
Love Jelly
So does this mean we’ll be seeing a Lite Brite bomber from Axial soon? 😁

My thoughts exactly
So I noticed Axial is one of your sponsors, you should get a RR10 dressed up like Child's Play and a SCX10 or SCX24 dressed up like the Step Child. Maybe even a CSX10 Jeep JT for the winner of the of the Foster Child.
That thing is making boat owners feel easier about their repairs.
