The proof is in the slow motion footage. Shocks and suspension working hard while the vehicle body/chassis stays almost flat. Nice work. Nice tuning.

You must've intentionally avoided calling them Kox shocks

This my first thought, as well. I think Kox is better suited to what was done to them.

That thing looks awesome in the bumps! Shock tuning is a science that most people will never understand.

Probably one of the best suspension videos I've watched. Very informative!

Thank you! There is so much more info that could be put into this video. It's a delicate balance lol.

You’ve came a long ways from when you first started your build on TRS. You’re doing great! Very impressed with everything you’re doing.

by far the best video i've ever seen in my life.

Good video man makes me motivated to go tune my Prerunner

Dont worry! Its actually more of a common thing to change than you think with the fox and king mix

My favorite Ford out there! 🇺🇲🤘🏴‍☠️ So excited to see this in action again.

Hell yeah cant wait for coilovers on my hybrid zj

Alright I'm sold, been considering those adjusters for my fox's for a while. Glad to see yall making vids again.

Hi! Awesome video! have you consider use a front disconnectable sway bar? I had the impression that on curves you got a little body roll. Keep up!!

That's normal for suspensions set up like this. Having a sway bar for used onroad and quickly disconnected offroad would be pretty nice though

So if you fee washboard feedback in the steering wheel do you adjust the low speed stiffer or softer?

@RecklessWrenchGarage

5 ай бұрын

I would try softening the low speed first and see how that feels. I like to start from all the way soft on the clicker so you can feel one extreme then work firmer from that

@coldie5445

5 ай бұрын

So on my DSCs I have the adjusters all the way soft.. low speed and high speed.. But My bypasses are mostly closed. I opened the rebound 20 clicks, and the first compression tube 20 clicks.. Left the 2nd bump tube at 4 clicks so its still mostly closed and Ill use that as my "bump zone" since I dont have air bumps in the front yet.. Rear is a different story.. Working on perfecting those bypasses and I have air bumps back there so that helps alot. Im just having a hard time on knowing what the vehicle should feel like versus what I like. I dont care about how I like it.. I want it to preform exactly how it should and how its supposed to. @@RecklessWrenchGarage

Nice job highlighting why tuning is important at higher speed. Are you tuned to crawl also or do you have to play with your compression adjusters? I usually have to change my compression adjusters.

@RecklessWrenchGarage

3 жыл бұрын

If I was getting into a big slow rock section, I would probably loosen up the compression a bit with the adjusters.

With the advances of ORI struts and all the trouble you've had with tuning valves and getting the right spring rates if you could start all over would you just throw on ORI Struts?

@RecklessWrenchGarage

3 жыл бұрын

No, I would never run ORIs on anything honestly. I think they are a cool concept and good for rock crawlers. IMO they can't keep up with a coilover at speeds over 30mph

@RecklessWrenchGarage

Not saying they don't have their purpose or do what they need to do, but I think a coilover is a better all around option

How does this compare to the radius arm suspension??

@RecklessWrenchGarage

3 жыл бұрын

Although I made a lot of changes to the truck when I swapped the radius arms out, I think this is the better version. I do believe that I could have made the radius arms this good in the high speed stuff though, I just prefer the "looser" feeling of the 3 link in the rocks.

What spring rates are you running in the front?

200/200 with 2.5-3 inches of preload. I'm going to bump up the lower to a 250 and try that out

I think it would be great for rockcrawling. You can use a shorter shock and get more travel compared to mounting it on the axle. And for very lightweight vehicles, a trailing arms allows you to use heavier, more common springs.
