Peter, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Your knowledge and insight is always appreciated. The video may be on the long side, but I hope someone can get some useful info from it.

What lift kit are you running it on ?

That’s what I do… Try to jam pack as much information in a video without wasting too much of your time… Glad you found it helpful… I have about 30,000 miles on them now and still very happy with the investment

Thanks! Hope it helps! Let me know if you have any questions !

Well.. you’re currently helping the algorithm by commenting.. thank you! Share if ya like 😂🤝

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.. yes, been on a bit i a hiatus with the baby. Also I hadn’t really needed to upgrade anything. The 5100’s are a great stock upgrade and the 5160’s would be an even better replacement . The 8100’s are what come in the dualsport lift and you may consider those, but they are pricey. These falcon work great for the price and will be similar in feel of the bilstein because the too are digressive shocks. Get with Jason who I mentioned at the end for any of your parts inquires. He will get you a good price 🤝

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment… I always appreciate your feedback🤝

I have no regrets going that route and I’m really looking forward to how they adjust as I load down the rig… We have a new tent and trailer in the works so really going to put the shocks performance to the test. Atlee get with Jason for your parts connection… Link is in the description.

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment… already 10,000 miles on them and love them!!

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment… Happy to help

You bet! Let me know if you have any questions! 25k on them so far! Love them!

And that’s exactly why I went with adjustable… All other issues I’ve seen said to skip the monotube for this reason… I’ve also run icon and Bilstein monotube in the past and they perform well on everything, but wash boards undeveloped roads.. so far I’m liking them more than any shock I found, including Fox monotubes

I have the 3.3s and on soft it is similar to the stock shocks on washboards

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. For the soft/performance setting the shaft must be at “FULL EXTENSION” to engage the bypass. You will feel it engage either setting as you turn one way or the other… You can turn infinitely in either Direction to engage your preferred setting, but as soon as you start going the opposite direction while at “FULL EXTENSION”, it will either start opening or closing the bypass valve depending on which way you’re going.. for example, if you want the soft setting, and you rotate it counterclockwise at “FULL EXTENSION” and are putting it into the bracket but you have to rotate it clockwise to get it in the bracket, you would start closing the bypass. You would need to go one more full revolution counter clockwise and then line up with the bracket. Most cases you will need to compress the shock to get it in the bracket, so as soon as you start compressing it disengages from the bypass gear and you can turn the shaft any direction without effecting the mode setting.. these are digressive valve shocks (similar to icon and most bilstein), kings are linear valve like fox at the other end of the valve spectrum. For what you’re looking to do, these shocks will be perfect.. I have about 5000 miles on them now and they have been so much better on and off-road than the MOPAR 2.5” fox shocks , and I thought i liked those.. 😂

@@GatorOverland Thank you for that thorough answer I appreciate you putting in the time to do that, have an awesome rest of the weekend👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@jonluchessi1643 happy to help.. looking forward to hearing feedback on your 3.5” setup.. assuming Clayton?

@@GatorOverland rockcrawler

@@jonluchessi1643 great products.. !!

72k miles of smiles on the JT, and got 50k out of the MOPAR fox shocks before they started to get tired.. about 62k total miles on MOPAR suspension lift

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. The red thing you’re talking about is an Anderson plug I have as a positive disconnect for my winch… It’s connected directly to the battery. This also allows me to use the plug to connect to for 12 V accessories and jumper cables to jump vehicles without having to pop my hood.. You should be fine with your fox, I’ve ridden both Fox and Bilstein for years and waver back and forth linear vs progressive. I did like the fox 2.5 MOPAR shocks alot, but they’re definitely soft by comparison of others. I think I prefer digressive on the 4/5 link coil spring vehicles and linear on everything else.

@@GatorOverland Okay thanks.

The JK rears are typically knob or “body side” down. JL’s are body up side but knob facing down for access. I have no concern with the shock body contacting the frame when flexing.. been on some pretty technical trails with plenty of flexing and not had an issue. Double check your past numbers are proper for the JT rear. The body of the shock is clearly stamped with the model of the vehicle and lift height... JL and JT will be the same configuration on the front.

Go to 1min in on this teraflex video and you can see the position they are in.. they match mine .. you either have the wrong models or installed backward and/or on the wrong side of the vehicle. Rear shock #1 on driver and #2 on passenger. Step 9 on the install sheet shows how it should be kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppxmqcmQx8_XkaM.htmlsi=tyXvxJoXlioGfknY

Only a lift or increase entire size would require increasing the bump stop height … However, by increasing the shock length you might consider extended brake lines

I actually went 3.5”-5” (which technically only affects the rear specs) because I plan to go 3.5” Clayton springs this year. On falcon front shocks the specs are all the same for 2” thru 5”.. so it’s up to decide if planning on going higher or staying where you’re at.. The rears will have a 2.1” travel difference between the two length options

It’s a gasser, but they do have diesel specific shocks in the same segment 2-3” pn# 14-02-33-400-152 3.5-4.5” pn# 14-02-33-400-202

Funny you should ask, I have a video just for that! To answer simply it’s a MOPAR 2” hybrid with some other beefy components. I absolutely love it.

Typical lifespan of a shock is between 35-50k miles, but that could be shorter or longer depending on how you use your vehicle. These shocks come with a 3-year warranty… I hope to get 50k miles out of these. One main advantage of these shocks is they are rebuildable.

I asked exactly the same questions before going falcon and ultimately ended up going falcon based on the feedback… Fox makes a great shock, but by design (linear valving) it’s going to be a little more squishy, response, upfront, and then increase resistance… My buddy has a Mojave and 3.5” Clayton lift with the adjustable fox, and afterMine is transitioning to Falcons.. @ instagram.com/the_offroad_chronicles?igsh=MXBscHduZGxxaWRxbA==riding in. There are a handful of other big names out there that are rolling, falcon as well with towing, and still do a fair share of off roading

@@GatorOverland 👍👍👍👍

Pretty much just convinced me on the 3.3 falcons. I have a 2022 diesel with a bed rack and tent and drawer system. Heavy build. The aev hd springs are great but the blistien 8100 are way too soft on the rebound. Long trails they are great. No fade. The bumps are very smooth on the initial bump, but the rebound is too soft. The jeep will bounce a few times after that initial hit. I wish they had an adjustment. They do have an advanced shock that has those adjustment but those are around 1400 a shock.

@WolfOverland these with solve that problem.. I have 2 buddies that run them on their diesels as well.. they actually sold me on these for my gasser.. 🤝

@@GatorOverland thanks. I need a set now.

It’s an investment for sure.. would’ve hurt to spend more, would regret to spend less… It’s worth it in the end for a dependable shock, especially if you use it
