I’m not much of a jeep guy but I completely respect anyone who says “how much do they want for that??” No thanks I’ll build it myself. The Rig looks and wheels great! thanks for taking the time to take everyone along for the journey..
Thank you for this I've been trying to figure out how where to even start to get some shocks like this on my jeep. Can you say that you prefer theses over the fox shocks now that you have them on?
I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm impressed at your workmanship and the in-depth videos. The only downside is every time I see your video it cost me money lol
If you mounted the bracket for the Coilover further down on the axle, do you think you could have avoided chopping into the Tub? I got 14”s myself and am looking to minimize lots of nipping and tucking on the body.
There isn’t really a standard, but my shock is 15 degrees back. The more angle on the shock the less efficient it becomes as a shock. I would try and get it as close to straight up and down as possible, With the room you have.
I don't know if you'll see this but I'm considering going coilovers in the rear. I just wanted to ask if I should outboard shocks or just go straight to coilovers. I'm considering both options I already have 4 Inch lift springs to go along with a rear 4 link for the rear.
Depends on your budget, if you can do it once with coilovers that’s what I would do. But if you can afford coilovers right now, out-boarding the shocks is definitely worth it.
Great vid once again been following your build and adventures for a while my Jeep build is very similar to yours just wondering what size springs and shocks you were running front and rear prior to the coilovers and did going to coilovers make a big difference in how your Jeep performed?
Could you tell me what welder that you are using for most of your work? I would like to be able to weld trusses and brackets to frame and axles. General fab work on my LJ is what I am trying to do. Any info or advice would be appreciated.
How do you know how high your Jeep will sit after you take it off the jack stands? Like how do you know how high or low to mount the tower? And how did you pick what size tower?
Would you be able to recommend a similar setup for a JK 2 door? I'm looking to try and use a GenRight fuel tank and go to coilovers without having to absolutely cut into my tub and lose my backseat
@@MuddyBeards4X4 Can you talk about the process of working with Accutune in a future video? I am interested to know what information you gave them, what questions they asked and how you think the Jeep rides now.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony if you call them you get to talk to a real dude and they’ll talk you through everything. They ended up being like three minutes down the road from me so I went to talk to them
I’m gettin ready to get the same shocks from accutune how well did they preform with there tuning an how did you figure out your sprung and unsprung weight and what is the angle for your rear coilovers?
can't agree with the auto tranny, I grew up with a stick and won't give mine up, Muncie is my choice, just gives me unlimited control on the trail in any situation
I love the stuff you build and enjoy all of it. I am currently building a 78 j10 that is going to be my farm/off road jeep that I just started the process on UA-cam I would appreciate it if you would check in and comment also suggest anything you might do to make this project better that I might be missing. Thanks for all your content love it

Thank you for your service sir. Thank you for the hard work on the videos
Great video, Intellitronix makes a direct fit LED gauge cluster for the CJ, 92-95 YJ & TJ
I got a barns front bumper for my YJ being made as we speak! Thanks!!
Thanks for the update im now thinkn 12s for mine so i dont have to cut into tub and get tall mounts since i already have the short ones
Great overview of the coil over suspension Kelly!
Awesome video. As an xj guy I'd love to see a video like this on an xj. Know anybody doing something like that? Patiently waiting for Robbie.
Great information. Thanks!
This helped out a lot I ordered a set of bilstein 2.0 14in travel shocks in may which I still haven’t gotten a tracking number for lol
Yea, it’s rough out there trying to get parts
Well this was incredibly convenient
Excellent video as always. Really appreciate what you're doing at muddy beards4x4. These videos will help a ton
Thanks👊🏻
THANKS you!
Love it, thanks for the shout out!
Damn that’s pretty much the setup I want. Problem is I don’t weld, very handy but welding is just one thing I’ve never done
Get a welder and start doing it, thats how I learned.
Thank you for this I've been trying to figure out how where to even start to get some shocks like this on my jeep. Can you say that you prefer theses over the fox shocks now that you have them on?
I have never had fox shocks so I can’t really compare them. But I would definitely run them if they were available when I bought these.
Awesome video! I’m definitely doing this on my next Jeep!
I subbed because we both have the same hairstyle , Beard and I also wear glasses. The videos are cool.too
Lots of great info, very well thought out, I appreciate the time and effort you put into your channel. Keep it up, Cheers!
Thanks 👍🏻
Thx you so much! 🙌🏻
Saludo hermano hasta que por fin logré ver las medidas de los sprines y como lo combinaste, me ayudó de mucho...
Great job!
I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm impressed at your workmanship and the in-depth videos. The only downside is every time I see your video it cost me money lol
Haha, thanks 👊🏻
Haha, I was worried about the coilover being so close to the shock tower.
I love the stretched TJ look! I'm glad you stretched ours, can you tell the difference in the longer wheelbase? Keep building Kelly!!
Nice! 💎
If you mounted the bracket for the Coilover further down on the axle, do you think you could have avoided chopping into the Tub? I got 14”s myself and am looking to minimize lots of nipping and tucking on the body.
If you went with maybe 12” coilovers and not 14” you might be able to not cut the tub. But it depends on the amount of travel you want.
I see you had the degree wheel on the shock tower. Is there a “standard” back setting when frenching the towers in?
There isn’t really a standard, but my shock is 15 degrees back. The more angle on the shock the less efficient it becomes as a shock. I would try and get it as close to straight up and down as possible, With the room you have.
How did it handle on road before you did your roll center changes ? And how does it do on and off road after the changes?
I don't know if you'll see this but I'm considering going coilovers in the rear. I just wanted to ask if I should outboard shocks or just go straight to coilovers. I'm considering both options I already have 4 Inch lift springs to go along with a rear 4 link for the rear.

Harbor freight titanium 200, been using it for years. Great welders
@@MuddyBeards4X4 thank you for the info. I just now have to learn to weld.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 would you mig or tig control arm brackets to the frame? And any advice for that certain project?
What are your thoughts on ORIs?
excuse me if I didn't get it but what is that rear axle ?
9” out of a 1980 f150
Great video! I have the same setup. How much lift do you think you ended up with these 14" coilovers installed?
Thanks, not sure, but I have 4.5” metal cloak dual rate coils in the front so somewhere around that.
How do you know how high your Jeep will sit after you take it off the jack stands? Like how do you know how high or low to mount the tower? And how did you pick what size tower?
What did you do with your charcoal canister?
My charcoal canister is under the hood, it’s a 97 so it has a slightly different setup than the newer Tj’s
@@MuddyBeards4X4 I see thanks for that. Mine is an 05. Prob gonna bypass it for a 10 inch stretch
Would you be able to recommend a similar setup for a JK 2 door? I'm looking to try and use a GenRight fuel tank and go to coilovers without having to absolutely cut into my tub and lose my backseat
How do you get your rig to Moab if you fly??
Wife and kids flew, I drove
@@MuddyBeards4X4 I gotcha do you trailered.... we are going in the spring 3 different jeeps 3 tow rigs. It’s a big job getting everyone ready lol
Yes, trailered. It definitely is a lot of work to get down there for sure.
If you had to do it again, would you do 14s again? Would you change spring rates?
I would keep it exactly how it is now, spring rates are good. I probably wouldn’t go any smaller than 14’s.

@@suzukitard I have talked to them. I was interested in hearing a third party perspective.
I’m gettin ready to get the same shocks from accutune how well did they preform with there tuning an how did you figure out your sprung and unsprung weight and what is the angle for your rear coilovers?
Is front coilovers too?
Nope, metal cloak dual rate springs and king piggy back shocks
@@MuddyBeards4X4 Thanks Kelly
What’s the wms-wms on your ford 9”?
65”
Between people like you and my wife and kids I'll be sure to die happy and without lots of money. Haha
Keep up the good work
Do y'all answer emails?
Anyone do a 5.3 th400-241c in tj with 9 inch rear?
Where's your fuel tank?
It’s the aluminum 19 gallon genright stretch tank, it’s there.
👍
Me: "can't wait to put some bolt on parts for my jeep"
..."ohh what's this"
"Well fuck"

can't agree with the auto tranny, I grew up with a stick and won't give mine up, Muncie is my choice, just gives me unlimited control on the trail in any situation
