Shocks look great. I love that they address the Rebound adjustment! So many companies don’t. I’m concerned with the upper bushings on the front. They should be offset as much as possible to get the shock body away from the frame rail, otherwise it will hit the frame during articulation. Either that or a relocation bracket for the lower axle mount.
Glad to see you guys using OnX! We'll share some more information on it when we visit in a few months. Thanks for the mention. You're really making us want to get a JT
Wohoo! Gladiator content. Currently trying to decide what shocks to go to next after my 4 year old factory fox shocks. Thinking non adjustable Falcons or Bilsteins.
I loved your race Jeep series… Really interesting and I know it’s going to make you even better at providing informed opinions in your already outstanding content…for the regular enthusiasts. Thanks!
I’m from Oklahoma, and I’ve wanted to visit Little Sahara and use my Jeep a bit, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Glad to see a place semi-local, though!
I am soooo glad that I bought my ‘20 Gladiator… mine is a sport so it will hopefully be getting built this year and you have definitely given me some inspiration… I would have loved a Mojave but there expensive even used so I’ll be building my own version. I’m actually kinda glad I went with a lower trim but time will tell…lol As always guys loving the content and keep up the incredible work! 👍
Looking like a decent shock / set up, I too have the Falcon 3.3 shocks and really like them over the Fox stocks. What about your steering set up, any updates or reviews on them? Also the Apex kit? Thanks
I have a 2023 gladiator with rock crawler 4 1/2 inch lift kit and I run 37 inch tires a few times a month I go deep in the back country with my modified teardrop trailer, I also do long day trips, I owned a bronco raptor which I don’t think anything compares in comfort so being spoiled from that I’m trying to find the proper shock to give me the best possible ride with total adjustability for towing and then when I’m not towing or if I’m up in the mountains on highway speeds on winding roads I want good handling so I having all that adjustability is really nice I thought about the fox 3.0 but that may not be the correct shock? i’ve had the 2.5 shocks on a JL they were good but not totally impressed, I’ve been considering the Falcons with the electronic adjustability it would be nice to be able to fly over the chatter bumps like I did on the bronco raptor ha ha any advice would be great I’m just trying to reach out to as many folks as possible and since rock crawler lift runs tall are having a very high quality shock with all the adjustability would just be great any input advice would be very helpful thanks for the awesome video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video ! I have a 2022 JL392 I NEED new suspension. Whats the cheapest but also squishiest and softest riding suspension you guys know of that you would recommend?? Help me!!!
Curious about the cost & how to purchase ? Thanks to you sharing the link I checked em out but seen nothing about purchasing or costs thanks. As ALWAYS love the channel & videos brother / sister lol
I did forget to talk about that 🤣. Will follow up! But they feel great on the road, soak up bumps great and still leave the jeep with a “planted” feel.
Sorry for being the grammar police here but it's truly cringeworthy to hear "dampen" said over and over (in so many videos) when referring to shocks. Shocks are DAMPERS. They DAMP bumps, vibrations, etc. On some, the DAMPING can be adjusted. They DO NOT make anything wet (aka dampen). If you want to dampen something, dampening it with a wet sponge or toil will be much more successful than use a damper.
I run the Pro XL shocks here in NZ, the rebound and compression damping is a game changer when I need to set my rig up for on and off-road terrains!
Very close to where I graduated High School. Glad you are finding the little gems of Oklahoma.
This year we will hopefully have more time to make more trips to some cool Oklahoma parks!

I flipped them around so the offset was the correct way
I too run XGG pro XLs in my hilux here in NZ, they’re awesome, could run over a minivan and not notice
Am thinking of doing same for wrangler jlu. In south is. Who did your fitting? And. Approx $?
@@judecollett7004 the team at XGG fitted themselves but most tire shops will do it for under $150 including an alignment
Always down for an adventure in the JT😆

Gladiator content!! ❤
Getting back to the roots of the Channel. The race jeep was cool and all but this is way better. 👍👍👍👍
I loved your race Jeep series… Really interesting and I know it’s going to make you even better at providing informed opinions in your already outstanding content…for the regular enthusiasts. Thanks!
Definitely take the Race Jeep to the dunes! 👍👍
I’m from Oklahoma, and I’ve wanted to visit Little Sahara and use my Jeep a bit, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Glad to see a place semi-local, though!
I need some of these! I have been wanting to upgrade my shocks
How much are they
I bought a Gladiator last year and am looking forward to new content you guys upload for the JT!
Litte Sarah is awesome place for side by sides!
Love you have some gladiator content again!
Woah, Retro! Integrated bumps!

Holy crap. I gotta look that place up. Make a little day trip down from Wichita
I run the XGG Pro XS shocks in South Africa, really impressed, next level shock, great value. Awesome video thanks man!!
This guy knows his stuff! Sweet vid man
Bolt in triple bypass or sdi eclik would be my top choices.

@JK Gear and Gadgets, Good to see you putting out more frequent content, really enjoy the channel.
Good to see Kassy (sp*) in the shop with you again keeping it classy too! Love the duo
OK ... that vid was sic !! Yall never disappoint. Great content ....
I live a couple hours from there, I have a semi race Jeep and need some friends to go to the dunes with lol.
Did you replace the aluminum knuckles with either the cast iron ones off a Mojave or from Reid racing or some other brand?
I would love to see u do a review on the new MC rocksport black shocks
Awesome video. Looking slim!
@JK Gear and Gadgets Get some paddles on beadlocks for the rear of your race Jeep and hold on...🎉
I love that front bumper what brand is that one

Maybe I missed it but how is a rebound adjustment doing anything at the static end of a solid shaft?
Great content! Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome place. Google mapping it- 21 hours- damn it!!! Lol
I can only find these in 2 1/2 inch lift is that what you used.
Well I see all of their various offerings on the website, but no pricing or where to buy.
Other than that, it's a nice promo 🤣
Not available in the US market yet unfortunately. Hopefully they will start selling here soon because they seem to be really nice shocks.
New Zealand company, but where are the shocks made?
Are these digressive, progressive, or linear shocks?
Linear
@@JKGearandGadgets awesome, any idea on price point once they come to the states?
Great video ! I have a 2022 JL392 I NEED new suspension. Whats the cheapest but also squishiest and softest riding suspension you guys know of that you would recommend?? Help me!!!
Sell me those Falcons! I'm going to try to get a set this year if the Bidenomix allows.
I have a 3 1/2 inch lift on my JK. What did you do with your fox shocks?
When will they be available in the US?
Looks good 2nd run, now wait till there broke in a bit and re review them.✌️
I think I need a Gladiator in my life
Would you recommend them over fox or falcon?
I’m guessing there’s no way of knowing how they compare head to head to the fox 2.5 that come with the Mojave?
What makes them better in your opinion?
Curious about the cost & how to purchase ? Thanks to you sharing the link I checked em out but seen nothing about purchasing or costs thanks. As ALWAYS love the channel & videos brother / sister lol
They are priced around 1,300 for the set, plus shipping etc. Currently there are no USA vendors but hopefully that changes soon!
@@JKGearandGadgetsFor a set of 2? Or set of 4?
@JK Gear and Gadgets also, if you are needing a place to store those Falcons you can store them on my Jeep. :)
How are the balancing beads working out?
Pretty good as usual. They will rarely be “perfect” with balance beads, but much cheaper than taking in for a full balance
What are you going to do with the Falcons?
"BENJAMIN!" Oh that was hilarious! That felt like the cab of my Jeep when I am about to push it too far. ha ha!
How many miles have you done in this Gladiator?
Approaching 73k
Whaaaa...somebody removed Falcon shocks?!?!
You didn't mention the on road performance.... 🙂
I did forget to talk about that 🤣. Will follow up! But they feel great on the road, soak up bumps great and still leave the jeep with a “planted” feel.
Question, would the gladiator fox shocks fit on a 2020 jl rubicon 4dr? A friend was going to give me a set just wondering if they would work. Thanks
The fronts will, but the rear won’t, they use different lengths and larger bushing/bolts.
Thank you
what bumper is that on the front of the gladiator?
Barnes4wd, I just looked for a link but can’t find it on their site anymore
Good video. I'll take your old falcons. They gotta be better than the RC ones I have now. 😂
Dibs on the old Falcons.......
i wish i was your little brother so i can have all your old stuff
35s or 37s?
37s
Hello, we are a jeep parts manufacturer from Maiker. We would like to talk with you about more details. How can I contact you?
Those tires probably weren’t doing the handling any favors hate d Arturo’s
Damn man you’ve lost some serious weight
Thomas Charles Johnson Nancy Walker Timothy
For the love of God bro……..fix that damn windshield!!!!!!
Finally! So over that damn race jeep 😂😂😂
OMG, NO, JUST NO! Unless they drop prices, they will fail. What happen to “Lockers before Lights” and “Junkyard Tons”? Go Fund me for shocks?
They are priced around 1,300 for a set, plus shipping etc. But that is very reasonable for a good shock…
@@JKGearandGadgets Back to Affordable Jeeping… NOPE
