We finally dial in the Bilstein bypass shocks on our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLUR and use the opportunity to explain why most off-the-shelf shocks don't perform as well as they should off road. And, of course, how to make your suspension behave the way it should off road!
Hope you all enjoy the video! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I never get tired of you interacting w/ the fans. We had the opportunity to meet Gretchen Wilson once. She looked a bit tired. I asked her if she ever tired of the fan interaction. She stopped, looked at me and said, "Honey, if I ever get tired of this, I had better go do something else." I have never forgotten how she felt about the fans.
That’s exactly how we feel. Our fans are amazing
This video should be required viewing for anyone that plans on spending money on a suspension. You can pour all the money you want into it, but if it isn't set up for your rig and your use, it's a total waste of money. And yeah, I loved the final fly by.
I can see a huge difference in the ride just by watching. Mind blown and educated all in one video.
Your knowledge of mechanics is always impressive lady!
In reality tho, most local shops will look at you like dear in headlights if you ask them to do this.
Very true. I would definitely not trust most shops to mess with the valving on a shock, you have to find an actual shock tuner.
I can support that claim of properly tuned shocks. The foster child is straight up magic!
I almost included a suggestion of people asking you for ride alongs if they saw the foster child. Lol
@@LiteBrite by all means do so lol. I’d be more than happy to show people the magic that is the foster child
Wes, man of many words, lets his actions do the talking. Obviously knows his stuff.
Nice to put a face to the tec support I didn't get...and now I understand why,,,he is one of the king shit around, so ego is strong in that being,,,lol,, and you can pay as much or more than the shock to get set up probably,,, lol wheelbarrow of $ gets it all done,,,

@@jesseruiz708 Not a clue what you Te ranting about?
WOW, what a difference, the body was steady on last pass on the bumpy trail, so cool
Properly tuned shocks is definitely the way to go. Nice job, the Jeep looks super fast!
AccTune, You guys need a video with your lift and some triple bypass tuned. I’ve been waiting for you guys to do this.
@@jonathanliebe1084 Yea, we've been getting a little too picky with our Fox 3.0 Bypass shocks. We have some video, but still perfecting them.
Definitely! This should hopefully bring light to tuning suspension setups and bring business to companies like yours
@@LiteBrite great video and game changer for me when I started tuning. Once I dialed high speed and low speed, I ended up turning rebound when I had extra weight or passengers on my X3.
@@LiteBrite It sure does. Like you mentioned, tunable shocks are expensive and without them being tuned... its sorta a waste. Good luck out at KOH!
That hemi powered Jeep is awesome that fly by was next level great video guys
11:0 Badassiness! Looks like Kevin was drifting through that left hander. Jelly Nation merch! 😜
Step child looks amazing through the woops and that high speed pass was the best 👌 love you guys and have shit tons of fun ❤
Got it get everything you need on the rig first bumpers, rocksliders, rooftop tent, bed rack, and etc then tune it.
That HEMI sounds A M A Z I N G!!!
Had a 2015 challenger sct pack with the 6.4 hemi amazing 177mph car.
I learned so much with this video, glad to know if I get shocks and they don’t ride good that I need to tune them. Keep up them great videos 👍👍👍👍
Great educational video on how important it is to tune your shocks, because every rigs are different in many ways. 👍👍👍
Great video! Tuned shocks make a huge difference, AccuTune Offroad did killer job on the Fox coilovers on my Jeep!
Wow. Those shocks are amazing. I bet you were thrilled already knowing how much of a difference it was going to make ahead of time having already done it on the Ultra4 car. So many amazing times ahead for the two of you and those rides!!
Great tips and very educational. Fantastic informational video. Happy Trails to you both.
The difference is just unbelievable, what a ride!!
Good info. Love seeing vehicles get signed. I display your signatures proudly on my Jeep. Keep rocking it.
❤️🤙
Omg that thing is wicked. The difference from before to after is phenomenal.
So awesome video..taking the time and explaining the value of the shocks and seeing the difference, when tuned......Stepchild is amazing.....Keep up the excellent times.....egarly awaiting your next video.....Safe travels
Great video topic! Definitely a need to know video!
Love yall.... thanks for the entertainment and knowledge
Very informative, I can tell you I never thought about it but when I get my lift kit for the jeep I will defiantly ask questions!
This was a cool video topic! It was easy to see in the initial runs that the rear tires were spending a lot of time in the air and causing some pogoing action. There was a huge difference after the rear shocks were properly tuned! 😎
Love Bilstein shocks! Run them on all my rigs! Keep up the good work and good luck at the KOH!!
I remember when I was but a kid, I drove RC controlled cars semi competitively.
(I raced a Blue Eagle LS from Traxxas, one of the first long arm race trucks)
I was on this one track with a bunch of whoops that it kept slapping it's rear end on.
Turns out, I had put the wrong weight oil in my front shocks,
so the damping was very weak, and the springs very strong.
So every time it compressed, it rebounded like mad pushing the front end up,
This rotated the car, so the front went up, and the rear went down.
Thus the rear ended up going where the front end had just been,
the rear end would plow into the whoops a moment later.
Ended up putting thicker oil in the front shocks,
and also lowering the spring rate a little bit,
and it just flowed over the whoops after that.
_It was a good lesson in how big a difference, a few small changes can make._
On a sidenote :
Dang you guys must go through a lot of permanent markers ? 😁
Hey Brittany, I just finished watching Hyper Drive on Netflix... You are amazing. Great job! I enjoyed watching you the most. Wish you better luck next time, but you are a winner!
I am impressed with the BILSTEIN group. After looking them up on the web, watching the factory tour and how the are willing to sponsor you, I can see what a great group they are!
Hey Thanks!
Dont be fooled, they are sponsored; try to find spare parts/tuning/warranty on your own for a set of bilstein and you Will see and understand why fox/king are the choice of everyone from recreational to full on pro/factory teams
@@yepitsme431 I watch there channel, I know they are sponsored! I like the BILSTEIN company because of the way they treat their employees and the way their employees speak of of the company.
@@tcrasey I can respect that BUT as a customer i could not care less about the corporate policy with their emplyees, i just want a quality product (wich they have), parts availability (wich they DONT have) and at least a decent customer service whenever you need them (wich they lack too). thats whym again companys like FOX, Kings shocks, ADS and others its the choice of preference, thats my only gripe with them.. and i will like to own a set of the 8125 coilovers but past/recent experience with them steers my away
I just want to say that you guys are living an awesome life & I will watch & support you guys all I can. Im gonna order a decal for my Jeep Rubicon that I bought at the end of July. Im new to Jeepin & im loving it. God bless you guys & keep living the dream. I wish you well!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Absolutely freaking awesome. It’s all I can say, dang it guys, love that hemy!!!
Wow! Even a gooberschnitzel like me can see the value of tuning! My 10 year old SxS with fox 2.0’s needs this!
And Kevin don’t sell yourself short Brotha, I watch this channel just as much for you dude! APPRECIATE YA..
wow, what a huge difference. Alot of valuable information.
Wow huge difference! Sweet!
Important lessons to learn here. Thanks for the info! 👍
A world of difference very informative. Thanks you two
Another excellent video! Thumbs up!
That Hemi though... Yes, a tuned set of shocks is on the wishlist. Great video guys.
As always awesome content and so cool you sign fans stuff!
This was a very informative video. Thanks for doing it.
Great job Wes!
All very good info! Remember kids, when you take your parking lot overlander to the local desert trails - be sure to bring a professional shock tuning mechanic with his portable trailer full service shop so you can tune your triple bypasses on the fly after seeing how your RTT Clad RIG does on the whoooooops!
Never seen Kevin in back seat . It’s really interesting 🤔. Also you pronounce beilstein in German pronunciation. That’s the right way in my opinion.
Man your jeep sounds awesome in this video! Glad your getting those shocks professionally tuned.
That was a great article. Yes - there is a huge difference easily noticeable between first and last run.
I like your energy guys, wish you all the best 😍👍
Thanks for the video.👍🏾👍🏾. Thanks for the education. Take care 🤙🏾
Straight beast mode! Killin it!!!
Awesome video y'all. Thanks for the classroom
Thank you so much for this info this is totally going to change my ride
Great info guys. I think the one thing that makes a big difference is buying shocks matched to whatever springs you use. That way they are pretty well tuned to the application, especially if you can't afford really high-end shocks.
At about 2:10 or so I thought "OMG, this video is going to cost me a small fortune"
I have a local shock dude in town that seriously hooked up my king 3.0's on my XJ. Night and day on similar terrain in this vid. You spend more on shocks that are tunable but tuning/rebuilding them is super cheap (like $75 per pair). I can't imagine what it would cost to have the tuner come out and ride along! The joys of sponsership!
Great info, that last run did look good.
Love that HEMI sound too. Learned about Shock Tuning racing Moto Cross way back in the 80s. Made a big difference not just in the way what your riding handles, but in your comfort as well. I mostly Mountain Bike now and my bike is tuned to me and my style. Shocks make your suspension work for control and comfort, so it is important to get the most out of them as you can. That's my plan and I am Stan. .So cool Jelly Belly has her own line of merch now too!
Fortunately I'm working with a great crew of experts that watches out for all these factors! Thanks LB! I see the parts are arriving.
All I need is a sponsorship with Bilstein and my shocks wouldn't suck anymore!
Wow what a huge improvement 👍👍👍
Great info.. also just signed up for E3 premium yearly membership.. thanks!!!!
Best title ever! This kind of title is totally timeless! Those are the best kind.
Very cool to see that and learn about it.
I hate you guys 😂😂😂 J/K, that last shot was AMAZING!!! I NEED A Hemi in my Jeep!!!
Love these tuning videos... first time I lifted a Jeep TJ ~20 years ago I was so disappointed when the aftermarket shocks were terrible on my lightweight rig. They were prob set up for a “light truck” 2-3k lbs heavier..
I can already see the difference how Stepchild is no longer so jumpi at higher speeds, looking great!
Great informative and educative video!!! PS: think to wrap the ugly alu?!
i like the passion for mechanical details.
Great info. How was the old Metalcloak and 6Pak shocks set up? I would love a comparison. Stock to Metalcloak to current
When the Jeep is a rockin......😉. Awesome guys love the info. learned what I’m doing next. Thanks
Great video thank you!
i had a feeling the fox shocks that i have should do better... i’ll have to look into shock tuning now! :)
Hey you two! Not relating to this video specifically but anyway... I hold you seriously responsible of me diggin myself into a deep hole called Wrangler ownership... I'm so happy 😃
That intro was so beautiful ♥️♥️💯🤙
Very impressed!
Very interesting video. Just went to KYB from Saches shocks on my stock TJ. Holy Toledo what a difference. Wish I could afford Billsteins...
Gosh dang the step child is sooo awesome!!
slightly a tad more rebound needed in rear however it looks awesome! Love the hemi!
That last pass you could see the tires were staying in contact more with the ground which is what you want... keeps ya moving forward. Dibs on a ride at next years Great Smokey Mountains Jeep Invasion :D and the Jelly shirts are cute.
Thank you guys I need that and yes I want to ride!
Love your Jeep I had 2005 in was nice
I drive a GM pickup truck. I'd say the limited amount of front suspension travel is its biggest shortcoming when driving off road. The StepChild looks like it actually has very respectable suspension travel. It scoots real well though the desert now. PS, I just ordered an Axial SCX10iii JLU in red, so I can have 1/9 scale StepChild-like adventures.
Yep you're right Kevin I did love the sound of that hemi!!!!!!!!! 4 gear in the whoops awesome!!! At what speed where you hitting those at??
I definitely need to step my game up and get my king shocks tuned. They aren’t bad at all, but like you guys said, they can be infinitely better.
Reminds me of my desert racing days of tuning my bikes suspension. Love Jellys t shirt.🐶😁 well if you guys are still in Ca. You are welcome to join us in Big Bear Sunday the 13th and go wheeling!
Awesome off-roading
Well, all my shocks suck!!! And always have. Thinking of the bilstines this time around. Nice video
Yeah I WAS going to try them over my Rancho 9000 but then I saw the cost.. 850.00 per shock.. WTF🤬
Nice Vid ..! been off road all my life 40 years 4x4ing mud, sand , sleet snow.
In all kinds of rigs.. still sporting a Cj-7 with Rancho 4 lift & 9000 adjustable e Shocks..
But not many of us REGULAR guys
Can afford Bilstein’s sky high price of $850.00 per shock.
Thx though..
I think you guys and the Step child could now ( maybe?) tackle the Dakar rally with that set up 😎👍
Got king off road shocks and had them tuned was 1400 bucks to get them tuned lol definitely worth it a world of difference
Hopefully you can explain how to shock tune. Like the definition of such terms, high & low speed compression and rebound and how to determine the right spring rate to have. Great video though. Keep it up
Good job Lite Brite High Five.
awesome video
I dont understand how yalls videos get dislikes. The hemi sounds so good!
Those are the guys at Wayalife sending the dislikes ;)
I really love this kind of content. BTW I have Bilstein with reservoir it is super soft ( all over the place) where can I tune it . It’s AEV from jeep dealer . Thanks
Glad you guys enjoyed yourself in So Cal.
I apologize for the jerks almost running you off the road in big bear. We're not all like that here.
Great stuff as always, look forward to seeing you guys run KOH! 👍
Bwahaha 😹 I think our boy at 12:49 was expecting a kiss 💋 and he played it off at 12:50
so now that the shocks are tuned, how does that work for low speed and crawling?
You guys Rock 🎸
My B8 5100’s just arrived yesterday :)
