Yes to both questions. Checkered Automotive in Chula Vista has been our best resource for local installation and alignments. They are very familiar with our Upper Control Arms. The Upper Control Arms are ready to install right out of the box. You will just need to slide in the misalignment spacers into the heim joints when installing the long upper bolt. We also have alignment recommendations in our install guide to help the shop doing the work. You should not need to make any adjustments to the heim joints on our Upper Control Arms.

@@accutuneoffroad Awesome thank you.

Unfortunately no, we do not have anything to lower the back of a Lightning.

Thanks! The ZR2 shocks are likely tuned very close to that trucks weight and suspension geometry, also cheating since its IFS. Unless you custom valve a shock for a built Jeep, you are just using generic Jeep shocks that fit the total lift. For some thats not a problem and does the trick, but for a few extra bucks it will really allow you to enjoy the vehicle a lot more. Not sure what Jeep you have, but if you're looking to make a change I'm sure we have some options for you. Let us know!

We just published a video and article that compares Fox/King/Ride shocks. It goes into great detail, I will share a link below. This is a great way to compare quality and explain a few of the differences that allow Ride Shocks to perform better. As for video of watching the same vehicle driving off-road with the different shocks, I think thats a very difficult thing to show while being honest. Ride quality is subjective and really something you need to experience while driving. However, we do plan to get more video of these shocks in action.

It sure is! Aluminum Savvy front bumper

Thats a pretty new vehicle, so not too many options available yet. However, I know King has front and rear shock options currently.

Please get in touch with our sales team, we are happy to re-evaluate your setup and address the issues you have. We're also more than happy to revalve the shocks for free. Please send over an email or give us a call when you have a minute. Sales@accutuneoffroad.com | 619-722-8555

On the current King 2.5s, they should be coming with linear pistons.

Not yet available, but in the works.

Thanks for the positive feedback about Ride Shocks!

I think because Accutune's business model for almost a decade is customizing and improving the tuning each brand to work well per application, you don't want to throw that out the window, notice accutune is really comparing their shock to the tuned version of orange or blue. If it was an out of the box comparison with standard tuning the results would vary. And to your point 2.0s don't have much value, ride tuning is all over the board per application, but the bushings and shaft quality are my main complaints.

who? ;)

@@accutuneoffroad Sway away race shocks. I have them on my f150.

@@1FiftyOverland I was mostly kidding. Not sure why no one talks about them.

They've been on life support since AFE bought them; scorned every dealer they ever had.

Cause they suckkkk

Great question. So up until now, shock manufacturers have been offering a "one size fits all" shock for specific vehicles. A Jeep shock for example is designed to bolt in and function for that model in its stock form. Its typically a "good enough" tune. A "tune" is comprised of a piston and unique set of valving (shims). When you start adding weight to the vehicle or changing to lifted springs, the tune/valving inside the shocks may not be ideal for that new weight. Custom Tuning is a combination of addressing spring rate and internal valving to fit a specific vehicle. Custom tuning a shock will help performance and ride quality in a big way. This concept has really been taken from the off-road racing world and brought to general consumer. Not all shocks are tunable though. We will custom tune Fox, King, Ride shocks with remote reservoirs. If you purchase shocks directly from us, we will custom tune them for free with purchase. If the ride quality with your Jeep is not that great, we can certainly help out. Feel free to send out sales team an email and we can look into options for you. Sales@accutuneoffroad.com

Universal fit coilovers, smooth body shocks and bypasses are definitely on the list, just not sure when.

Elka vs Dirt King breakdown and differences would be interesting. because I feel like dirt king claims proprietary features but are always vague and cryptic about it in ads. Then again I think dirt king would provide more client support being a niche line of business.

We’ve enjoyed our Dirtking 2.0 and 2.5 with DSC shocks. We run both setups on 2 different tundras 2016s.

Thank you!!

Our Tacoma front coilovers are considered extended travel, if you check out the article on our site, we show the shock lengths. As for the 12" rear smooth body shock, that is definitely something we have on our list! Thanks

@@accutuneoffroad I will wait then!!Thanks

Is the RC 1.5" a spacer lift like we show in this video? If so, we don't recommend them if you are wanting a lift with improved ride. More details about spacer lifts discusses here: accutuneoffroad.com/articles/spacer-lift-vs-preload-spacer-vs-coilover-preload/

Depending on budget and application, they can be overkill and not needed. Bypasses like you see in this video are designed for custom builds with custom shock mounts and suspension. Really depends on the vehicle and goals. We don't want to sell you expensive shocks if you don't need them.

Awesome! Getting out and exploring is a ton of fun, happy to hear you are getting back into it. We actually have a full breakdown video of our Tacoma, the only difference from this video to now, is we have Ride Shocks on it. Take a look here: ruclips.net/video/eOBfr4sAXOg/видео.htmlsi=BCPzihByzaJ2Ag-n

I would agree you don't need a u-bolt flip kit to gain massive ground clearance, but that is just a bonus feature you get with our complete kit. I think the most important benefit to our kit is the different height spacer options. This is important so you don't bottom out the shock prematurely. Softer than stock bump stop is the second best feature.

Awesome feedback, thank you for sharing! You're right about the Coil Savers. Those a very cheap way to keep your coilovers in great shape, especially during harsh winter months. Enjoy those new shocks!!

Thanks for the additional scoop!

I would recommend they get removed. The UCA is designed to not use those washers, so thread engagement on the bolt may be limited and you may not be able to get accurate torque specs.

Same construction, but most of Fox OEM fit shocks use a -8 hose (1/2") and Ride Shocks uses -10 (5/8"). Ride Shocks doesn't have anything specific for LT kits yet.

Awesome! Glad we could help

Blue King Shock hose is 3/8" (-6 hose) Black Ride Shocks 5/8" (-10 hose)

Yes that is correct. Both Fox and King come standard with shaft bumpers.

I would start by contacting BDS since they make the kit and have specific shocks from Fox.

We only have one location in San Diego CA.

Hell yea!

Good question. It really depends on your goals now and how long until you plan to upgrade. If there are no immediate plans, we would suggest upgrading the suspension for its most common weight. Depending on the added weight later on, you may need to swap springs and get the shocks revalved for the new weight. If you were to buy suspension now for the heavy weight you do not have yet, the truck will ride very stiff and wont be comfortable.

Adventure Tune will be the standard of how they come. This is by far the most common tune so we made it the standard, unless there is a situation where the vehicle and owner want something more aggressive. The DPA adjusters really help stiffen up the shocks for more aggressive off-roading, so we don't recommend the Dual Sport Tune very often. Dual Sport Tune will handle much more aggressive off-roading, but you will give up some daily driver comfort by doing so.

@@accutuneoffroad sounds great thank you for the response!

Its on the list of shocks to get handled, but I think we have a few more OEM applications to knock out first. Certainly is on the list though so keep an eye out.

Nothing for Ride Shocks, but we do have some options with Fox or King: accutuneoffroad.com/product-category/vehicle-specific-products/chevrolet/chevrolet-colorado-2016-2015/
