Welcome to Studio Motors! You are watching This is How I Made My Jeep 392 Drive 10X BETTER!
The Jeep Rubicon 392 Xtreme Recon is the best driving Jeep Wrangler ever made. So when it came time to lifting the 6.4L Hemi Wrangler, I made sure to do all the research and find a lift that would not sacrifice the comfort and drive quality. Fortunately, I found a company that not only offered a complete lift kit with all the components needed, but had been testing the suspension on a custom built Jeep JL with a Hemi V8 in it.
After installing this lift, I can confidently say the Jeep 392 drives 10X Better than stock even on 37" Tires.
This is the 2.5" adventure lift kit from Rock Krawler which lifts the Jeep 392 a true 2.5 inches over the stock ride height. Essnetially, it's a 3.5" lift over a standard Rubicon. This is the perfect ride height if you plan on doing some hard off roading but also daily driving your Jeep.
This review is specifically about the on-road ride quality, handling, and comfort of the Jeep Rubicon 392 Xtreme Recon with 37" tires. Soon I'll have a full off-road review of the Rock Krawler lift, subscribe to see what's next.

@StudioMotors Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tim! Not trying to be biased, but I really think Firecracker is the color to have, especially for a 392. The red goes great with the bronze accents and the bigger tires, fender trim, etc add a lot of contrast as well. I always wanted a yellow Jeep so I ordered a High Velocity 392 as soon as it was announced. It showed up as a 2023 a month or so ago. When I put it next to firecracker, I couldnt let go of the red, its just too perfect for the 392.

Great video! I absolutely agree that RK makes a great suspension system! I went with the 3.5 XFactor and love it. I decided to try their shocks and was a bit disappointed in the RRD shocks. Ran great on the street but I took them on a honestly a hard off road trip and they were never the same. Came home and they were SUPER SOFT hitting the bump stops constantly. Went back to Fox and couldn’t be happier! Their suspensions are top notch but their shocks didn’t work for me. Looking forward to seeing if your experience is better

How to drive in heavy winds: Any vehicle will work but a Jeep on the trail is especially suitable. Buy a big bag of pork rinds (Chicharrón) at a local 7-Eleven. Load up on their counter nacho cheese topping; be sure to grab some jalapenos and onions as a topping. Make sure you grab some premium Guinness Stout to go along with your feast. And for "Le Dessert" I recommend popcorn and a couple of Slim-Jims with a chocolate milk aperitif.

Nice! If I can get your honest opinion, the on-road drive quality with this lift, got softer or more firm comparing with XR package?

@StudioMotors Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say "softer" but it is smoother, yet tighter and more composed. For example, when you are driving straight in the 392, its smoother than the stock suspension. When you go to take a corner or make a turn, it dosnt have the tilting or swaying a softer setup would have. It takes corners like a champ, the handling is 100% better. So its smoother, but its tighter when you need it. I think that's what really got me on this setup is that it didnt compromise smoothness and a plush ride to handle better, especially now that its higher. Overall, everything seems so much tighter and better balanced than stock which is saying a lot because it's on 37 inch tires and 2.5 inches higher.

I agree with the other subscrihers another well done video. However, I must ask you if youre doing this upgrade doesnt it defeat the purpose of adding the XR package? Im confused I already bought the bar...lol if I keep going at this rate I'll never be finished and Ill be thinking I wish I had done Americas Most Wanted. I think thats the company that does the hellcat jeeps :). Just want your thoughts your videos deserve respect but we need one to save money within the confines of the package we have...what do you think?

@StudioMotors Жыл бұрын

Man I love the feedback! the XR package is IDEAL for a Jeep you can buy that's modified just right from the factory and you don't have to touch anything. But personally, I knew the lift and wheel size was not going to be enough from the get go and that I would lift it even more and run a bigger tire. The only regret I have right now is going with 37 inch tires instead of 38s. 37s were a perfect fit for the JK but to me, it seems like they don't fill the JL as well as a 38 inch does. If you don't need the higher clearance or bigger tire, the XR is perfect the way it is, keep it like that. It can do SO MUCH the way it is. Nothing better than the 392 installed from the factory, so please don't regret what an awesome Jeep you have. I'm digging through a lot of different products, accessories, and upgrades. As I come across must have stuff I'll review them and keep you posted. Thank you for always watching!!

@StudioMotors Жыл бұрын

Ran a set of Falcon 3.3s on a JK, does not have anywhere near the same amount of travel and can't hold a candle to the RRD Fluted Aluminum shocks. I will tell you tho, the revised reservoir setup on the Falcons had me sold. I thought these were going to be the best riding shocks I ever felt because of the reservoir being built into the shock instead of being an external unit. I'm not here to bash on Teraflex but come on buddy, I've been there, done that, ain't doing it again.

@williamh6547 Жыл бұрын

@@StudioMotors to each their own I guess, I mean how much FLEX do us normal people need?? I mean not being blown all over in crosswinds, taking corners without body roll, and great shocks all around, you cannot beat the 3.3, plus they ARE NOT built for long travel, ANY shock that is is NOT going to have the cornering ability nor crosswind stability, there is to much travel, there are things you've gained with long travel shocks if you do rock crawling etc, but for 98%of people that will never be the case, that's like telling someone with a Dana 44 they cannot run 40" tires to buy Dana 60s, that's just straight out lies and marketing hype. I've got a 21 382 Rubicon now, and in about 2 weeks my 23 392 Extreme Recon will be delivered, and everything that I mentioned before will be going on that jeep.
