Better ride quality?

RockinAZJK said:

Looking to make some changes to improve the ride of the new to me Jeep. I can feel most every bump in the road and while I wouldn’t think twice being that’s how it’s always been, my old JK on 4” plush rides and Fox floats over everything.
Currently running short arms, Evo spec king 2.5 adjustables turned all the way down, and 3” Plush Rides.
Shocks have about 30k miles on them.

To those running the Plush Ride/Evo King combo, can you feel every bump or is it more like a Cadi in that you almost can’t feel most road bumps?

I loved mine and had zero issues with them, but with 30k miles I bet you need to service them and they are low on nitro.

That’s what I’m wondering. Considering having them revalved vs serviced, but never drove them with fewer miles so I’m not actually sure how they’re supposed to ride

Do you have the KIng or EVO spec valving? If you revalue they will be serviced at the same time.

Tires and pressure? I'm running 3" plush and Evo spec kings with no issues. I've run 37x13.5 Cooper SST pros and 35x12.5 Goodyear duratracs both at 32psi.

Maybe check the nitrogen pressure on the shocks- they're supposed to be 150psi.

It's definitely not a Cadillac, I feel the bumps but it's not harsh. Better than the rockkrawler springs and Fox shocks I had before.

I've watched numerous vids and servicing them doesn't look very hard, just really messy and time consuming. You'll save money over time if you keep the Jeep long enough,
but your biggest expense will be the nitrogen setup. But once that's bought along with a gallon of the shock oil, you'll be set.

I’d just get them serviced. From what I understand, it won’t get the Cadillac feel unless you put a DTD on there.

This and the Evo specs are specific for jeeps. Just service them keep the Evo valving.

Fair enough, I suppose the weight I’m about to add with Evo sliders and rocker skins should help soften things up as well lol

Another thing I would add is make sure you grease your control arms. Makes a big difference.

Time to start over [emoji23]
Really though sounds like they’re jacked now, you should probably just send them to me instead of throwing them out lol
