    I'm glad someone else sees how useful that rustoleum bedliner is. Dries in minutes, covers pretty much anything, and doesn't look half bad. Also, really glad to get a good video on coils and coilovers. I've been looking into switching to coilovers for a while, but was always lost about what I needed or even where to start with the process. I've also always wondered what those ridiculous shocks were for and now I know.

    Cool videos. Good info, thanks.
    I grew up in Vegas area and been using Adams driveshaft for so many years. When I owned a business building trucks, Later I became a Mac tool guy and Adams was one of my stops. Top quality people with best gear. Never ripped people off on parts or repairs in house. The only place I will ever use for driveline, gearing, etc. Many companies can have well designed parts- but honesty and integrity are more rare- they have it all.

    When you charge your bumps or your shocks it is always a good idea to fully compress them and then fill for a more precise pressurization.

    Maaaan you rock! I enjoy your videos so much, I'm about to resurect my XJ project that's been rotting for the past year, all because you make me crave the fab and the wheeling. Those slow-mo tire shots were NUTS and your videos are getting better and better. Can't wait to see how TTS will be for you!
    Congrats on the build. Nice, simple and original.

But I haven't decided on the build just yet because I'm trying to figure out the best build. I also think I want a manual transmission. It would be nice to be able to add an attlas as well. But I'm also concerned with the engine bay and this is why I keep reconsidering my choices. I'd like some thoughts you might have for me, or suggestions.

    I would be a little bit uncomfortable routing my exaust next to my gas tank so close. Running good shocks (love my Kings) will have you driving faster off road with the smooth and control added. The external bypass is nice so is a bigger shock. I am considering coil overs up front but after weighing my Bronco front rear and whole truck Bret King tuned them GREAT. Not sure about the rear I have Deavers and a strong frame to frame two tube upper mount for shock length. Coils would require space inside and tubbing in the body but ? The off roading done with well built trucks at higher speed still has surprises. Most are handled when built well but exhaust next to the gas tank and a surprise could be to much surprise. Maybe some heat wrap at the location would be a option ?

    I've got a front drive shaft from them. Isn't even a year old and the slip shaft is wore out. Any advise on it. What I can do to to fix this. And yes the diff angle is pointing directly at the Tcase

    Awesome video and the information is very useful. One question is for a guy who cannot build his own suspension system what long arm kit would you recommend for an LJ?

      Unfortunately I dont have much experience with suspension kits. I couldn't give you a very good recommendation. Sorry brother! 👍

    Now when talking about coil springs. You didn't mention spring rates. I see you are running a multi-rate spring. The question is what spring rates do you think work the best for 4 wheeling. Heavy or light?

    • @DirtLifestyle

      It's a multi spring rate but the soft rate doesn't do anything for the ride. The soft rate is to keep the spring in place when the axle is fully extended. I like the lightest springs possible that can still hold the weight of the vehicle 👍

    If I didn't know better, i'd say you were excited for those new bypass shocks! haha. For good reason too, those will ride great!
    Hows the Trail to SEMA going? I've been watching other channels like Bleepin and JK G&G and it looks like a great time! Did you go up Back Door?

      Yeah I'm pumped about these shocks. Trail to sema is awesome! I didn't do back door. My jeep isn't near long enough for that obstacle. I wouldn't try it with less than a 120" wheelbase. I'd like to build a truggy and then I'll be more inclined to do back door 👍
