    I wanted to hop in before this gets lost in the comments. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!
    I just purchased a 2020 Wrangler JL about 3 weeks ago and have used your channel exclusively to learn how to use and maintain my Jeep. I found the video on how to change the differential fluid EXTREMELY helpful.
    This channel really makes me feel like I joined a good community.

    I understand people questioning the durability of the air pistons/air bag design. Food for thought, this is what commercial semi trucks use and I assure you the designs is extremely durable for the elements and load. My 2005 Peterbilt 379 has 1.3 million miles on it, i run upwards of 80k lbs and I've only ever replaced one airbag out of four up until this point.

    Awesome video series. I’m really impressed with this company and their product so far, but most importantly the way you are putting these reviews together has just been really entertaining and I don’t even own a JT. Great work as always Eddy and Cindy! Been enjoying your work for 10+ years now and always looking forward to each release 🤘

    I actualy like this lift. I came from a RK 3.5 XFactor on my JKU and now planning my JLU. I like the fact you can lower it for street driving. Then back up for off Road. This just seems like the best of both worlds. We also tow a camper and overland as well. Glad I ran into this video. My wife hated my 3.5, It was so hard for her to jump in. I also park my jeep in the garage and 3.5 with 35's is my limit before I have to get a lift on the garage door. Perfect solution.

    I would have no prob if Jeep had this as standard spec. As a truck driver driving in the outback, I have never had a problem with airbags. The only airbags I have a problem with are the round ones, and when you drive roadtrains, you are Shaw to 1 or 2 flat tyres on a trip 👍🇦🇺👌

    Just an off the cuff question... I know you folks have explored Dixie Valley. Steamshovel canyon. Have you ever heard of Bernice Canyon? In the Arc Artics. A whole mining community forgotten by time. It probably needs a seriously built rig to get in there and access it. I recently heard that it might be opened back up to commercial mining. A trip you guys might to add on your bucket list before it is gone forever.

    Edit: I think one reason I was so skeptical was hearing about the 1500 Ram Rebel w/ air suspension & with the suspension raised all the way the ride was rough & it didn't flex very well (if I remember correctly). But I'm very impressed!

    • @wayalife
      @wayalife  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, this isn't anything like a Ram or a Grand Cherokee or even a Range Rover. On the default setting, your ride is very nice and it still flexes well.

      @@wayalife i looked at their website pics.
      how would I need their control arms, swaybar links and tracbars? I understand needing the rest of the kit but I have super high end hard parts that id be forced to take a huge L on resale just to have what looks like lower quality parts right back in place
      I already have high end fully adjustable suspension components and their kit only comes with 6 arms and one tracbar. Plus only two johnny joints the rest are just stock looking bushings. If the height sensors are on their arms then thats an easy mod to existing arms

    • @wayalife
      @wayalife  Рік тому

      Their control arms have sensors that help the computer know what your ride height is. The shocks they use are also a specific length extended and collapsed and this is critical to preventing damage to the air pistons. That said, the track bars and swaybar links, you can use whatever. Having said that, sounds to me like what you got now is way better than what this kit has to offer. Maybe you should just stick with it.
