The tuning with valve and pistons makes a whole lot of sense. I’ve been 4x4 for quite a while now but did not fully understand how the innards of a shock work around restricting or permitting oil flow based on how its valved, and ultimately how that manifests to the operator on a given terrain. Shock Surplus YT vids were extremely insightful. The problem is, I want some Kings and E-Klick now the thought of a closed loop system that ingests feedback in real time and adjusts according is simply…. Incredible. The same concept is applicable in my line of work (Technological Infrastructure), but much cooler played out in the physical world!Thanks, yeah its not a very common breed.
So those photos were a little old, I have now swapped out the bajakits stuff for the billet RPG front and rear upper/lower arms. Got the heavy duty tie rod kit as well and all parts custom colour matched to the wheels.
Regarding the King shocks.. Initially I was not so happy with them off-road. Definitly felt a bit stiffer at first on-road, but off-road for the type of terrain and deserts we have in the UAE, it was not setup properly. The front is way too soft and rear had too much rebound, used to kick the rear up bucking bronco style After re-valving, tune and changing rear pistons, its now well setup. Really happy with performance now, takes the whoops very well as well as the hard inital hill climb hits. The shocks themselves are great, just needs some tweaking for the type of use you want to extract from them.
Awesome Bronco! Thanks for chiming in
