How To Make Your Jeep Wrangler Ride Great | Harry Situations

An aftermarket suspension to fit larger tires used to mean compromised suspension geometry and ride quality, but that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. Our 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited rides and handles better than stock on 37-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers, and it does so without a long arm suspension. Long arms are a common upgrade on TJ Wranglers that allow the suspension arms to travel in a shallower arc for a given range of motion at the axle. The factory lower control arms are only 16-inches long, an issue that Jeep addressed with the JK and its 23.5-inch-long lower control arms. The factory arms are stamped steel with rubber bushings, they were all upgraded to JKS Manufacturing control arms with Flex Joints and heavy wall tubing. These arms are also adjustable to allow you to set the pinion angles and front caster. Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrivingLine... Short control arms are fine at the factory ride height, it is only as the angle increases that they become problematic. Since this Jeep has an American Expedition Vehicles Highline kit, the 37-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers fit with only a 2.5-inch lift using Skyjacker coils and King remote reservoir shocks. The shocks have been custom valved for the Jeep by Samco Fabrication to improve the ride quality. More recently, SDI E-Clik reservoirs were added that use an inertial measurement unit that takes readings 250 times a second and adjusts the compression damping at each corner based on input parameters such as pitch, roll, acceleration, and braking. The end result is a smooth, controlled ride on the street that has plenty of articulation on the trail. 0:00 How To Make Your Jeep Ride Great 0:54 AEV Highline Fenders 1:16 Brought To By Nitto Tires 1:40 Custom Shock Valving 2:29 Coil Spring Considerations 3:02 Short and Long Control Arms 3:56 Keep The Control Arms Flat 4:32 JKS Control Arms 5:22 ACOS and Air Bumps 6:09 SDI E-Clik Active Suspension 7:40 E-Clik User Interface 10:21 SDI Bolt In Shocks 10:45 WJ Knuckle Conversion 11:15 Flat Track Bars 11:56 No Bump Steer 12:32 Longer Track Bar 13:10 Sway Bars Components Used: Skyjacker 2.5-inch Dual Rate Coil Springs- https://skyjacker.com/shop/category/j...
