Off-road, the ride is much improved. The JounceShocks eliminate bottoming as well as improve handling and increase stability at all speeds. The suspension simply floats over whoops and smoothes out the ride. While slow-speed rock crawling, the typical side to side rocking motion is controlled. There are four parameter settings that can be manually adjusted; nitrogen pressure, compression damping, rebound damping, and oil level. You can fine tune your JK's bump stop settings like a pro. Initially, we filled the JounceShocks to 200 psi, but found this to be very harsh over bumps. This setting would probably work well in a trophy truck, but not a light weight Jeep. Even with the compression adjustment backed all the way out to soft, the ride was still uncomfortable. So, we consulted with the guru's at Light Racing and they recommended charging the front to 60-psi and 40-psi for the rear. This was the hot ticket and we are very satisfied with the ride. We can easily add more nitrogen, if needed. The cool thing is, if you are planning your next outback adventure trip, you can easily add more nitrogen pressure to accommodate a heavier payload. Since the rear bump stop is mounted outside of the coil spring, you can simply unscrew the Allen set screw, spin off the JounceShocks, turn upside down on a workbench and let stand for 30 minutes to allow the nitrogen and the oil to separate. Fill the nitrogen to the desired pressure, re-mount the JounceShocks, and you are ready to hit your favorite trail. Enjoy the ride!
