    Went with the same shocks on my project 91 YJ. Thank you so much for the helpful video! I was able to get all four done in a couple of hours. I've learned and used many of your videos to fix my YJ. Keep up the excellent work Dale!

      hello, how did the 7.0 hydro's hold up?

  • @michaelpeterson7467

    Love your videos. Thanks for the info it makes it a lot easier when you watch someone else do the job first. I have a 1991 YJ I’m about to tear down to the frame and rebuild. It will be my first project of this magnitude. Thanks again

    My rear shocks from Quadretech have been backordered since April.

    • @matthewsipe8905
      @matthewsipe8905 Před 4 lety

      Cancel and get another brand..

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Před 4 lety +1

      Yeah. Many brands are having issues because of the craziness going on. Mine took 2 months to arrive.

    Great job Dale . Those old shocks sure have seen better days, specially the front ones . YIKES !! Take care and be safe my friend .

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks! Can’t wait to test them out.

  • @lemondrop8819

    Been debating about shock choices will have to look at these too. Thanks for the video!!

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Před 4 lety

      These have a lot of good reviews. Not bad for the price.

    • @lemondrop8819
      @lemondrop8819 Před 4 lety

      JeepSolid I appreciate the feedback will be heavily considering the 8.0s for my YJ

  • @joshuabarillas8

    Thanks for making this video, I just changed my YJ shocks thanks to you

  • @77nikkel90
    @77nikkel90 Před 4 lety +4

    Question , going to put shocks on my 93 YJ , Bilstein speaks for itself. For the cost of the Quadratec shocks may just be the better deal .Jeep has almost 200K .I would be saving almost $200 . Seen both of your videos . What is your overall pick since you had had both on your jeeps?

  • @BuiltNotBoughtTV2019
    @BuiltNotBoughtTV2019 Před 4 lety

    Went with the same. Was a good choice and didn‘t break the bank 👍

    @MarkOBrienTeaches Před 4 lety +1

    :) replaced my suspension a few months ago. you have 8.5 minutes showing how to do it; mine was rusted, and rusted and rusted; a total of 20 hours of heating, hammering, grinding and cussing for 4 springs and 4 shocks on my YJ....and it's not even that rusty.

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Před 4 lety +1

      Dang! Yeah. Sometimes it can be a pain. Top nut have me some issues. Contemplated taking cut off wheel too it, but got it after a bit. I think I mentioned that in the video.

  • @davemiller3027
    @davemiller3027 Před 4 lety

    Great choice!!!! I put those on my 94 wrangler last year. It’s running a Rancho 2.5” lift with 9000 adjustable ones. The shocks were worn out and bombing the ranch it rode like Sh$t..., the new Hydros are Great shocks for the $$$. It rides so good now.

    • @matthewsipe8905
      @matthewsipe8905 Před 4 lety

      Do those shocks actually ride well or was it just better then the old ones??
      I have RC and they suck..

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Před 4 lety

      Nice! The reviews on these are pretty good

      I thank they are better quality than my old ones that were made in 96. I’m really happy with them. We use our Jeep on the ranch for tones of chores to running to town to haul 400 pounds of feed every two weeks.

  • @frankknorr5083
    @frankknorr5083 Před 4 lety

    Those springs look tired too. Always good content. Thanks for your videos

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Před 4 lety

      Yep! Springs coming soon 👍🏽

    • @dab0yhdizzle

      I got it for JLU 2.5 can't wait to put em on n see hows gone go

  • @sijonda
    @sijonda Před 2 lety +1

    How did you release the lock on the shocks so they expand? Mine were shipped fully compressed and I can't figure out how to extend them.
    Update: found out they aren't locked, they just don't expand by themselves like every other shock I've messed with.

  • @AnubisReviews
    @AnubisReviews Před 3 lety

    Mad that I need new shocks and these are the ones I really want and need yet they are sold out. 😫

  • @scottsmith6571

    Stop making it look simple and quick. I might be tempted to try it myself.

  • @leskobrandon538
    @leskobrandon538 Před 4 lety +1

    What about the broken springs?

  • @MrDanyoumell
    @MrDanyoumell Před 4 lety

    Great Video Thank you - what lift height did you go with?

  • @arb4
    @arb4 Před 3 lety +1

    What size is that top nut that secures the front shock?

    • @chriss.3476
      @chriss.3476 Před 3 lety

      Did you figure it out? I'm doing mine in a couple of days and the Jeep is at another house, so was looking to see what size they were so I'm not taking every tool there.

  • @krod2162
    @krod2162 Před 5 měsíci

    I kinda don't like these videos where they don't take a little test drive and give their opinion on the difference between the old shocks and the new.

  • @freeradical431
    @freeradical431 Před 3 lety

    Why are they a huge upgrade? U never compared that brand to another brand or style. Title should say- Just another shock swap
