Ride Shocks

[mvilla]

So I decided I’m going to send the rear shocks back to be revalved. Waiting on the expedition one rear bumper to come in a few weeks. Once I get that installed then I will get it weighed and make measurements and send the rears back to accutune.

Yeah I’m sending mine back in to get revolved as well. I will say one thing about ride is that their customer service is just about the best of any company I’ve delt with.

Reporting after the install and a couple of miles. Like everything about the ride shock set up from accutune. It seems to round off all the edges of the bumps. Now to try some settings.

This is the stance with ride shocks

Keep us updated on how the ride is going. How much front/rear lift did you end up with and did you tell accutune any specifics on how high you wanted it/weight of add ons?

I will get it aligned this week hopefully, and will report back on lift. It's really close to the eibach spring lift that was previously on the Bilstein shocks. I have this one spot of road that transitions from one road to another that is on my route daily. Its one heck of a bump, Head banger if ya know what i mean. I will say it makes it dissappear.

I got the UCAs swapped out today from the Icon Delta pros to the new Ride UCAs. The install and instructions could not have been any easier. Fitment is perfect. It goes for realignment on Friday.

From start to finish, customer service with Accutune has been nothing less than stellar. They are responsive on Instagram, Facebook, here, and emails. If I’m dropping nearly $6k on suspension parts, it’s good to know that they are standing behind everything they put out. Fantastic job @AccuTune Offroad.

I'm very happy with there set up on my 2 door as well. Just all around great riding Bronco now. Feels like I'm in my old raptor again. They were great to deal with and got them to me pretty quick as well.

Thats great to hear, thank you for sharing feedback we really appreciate it. A lot of us wear many hats over here, but customer service is definitely at the top of our priority list.

Love to hear that! I really enjoy driving our Bronco as well, its a blast to drive off-road.

Accutune-

Can you speak a little regarding your heims in the UCAs. I'm in MN and with about the massive salt we get as well as dirt working into them.

At the end of the day how do these hold up to creaking and popping vs say icons bushing? Any warranty regarding this?

Not accutune, but for my heims I put these booties on them and filled them full of Triflow. They're working very well for the UCAs but understandably not as awesome on the tierods.

I'll send over a PM so we don't go too far off topic on this thread

I was finally able to test the suspension out on the trail today and took some notes on how they feel. Gonna copy and paste them below and at the end describe what I am hoping for with a revalve. If @AccuTune Offroad or anyone else with experience can chime in and let me know if that sounds reasonable, I would feel a lot better about the purchase. Right now I feel a lot of remorse and am considering going back to the eibachs but with the HD rear springs.

On trail, on the lowest settings, with tires at 17 psi the ride starts off very harsh. Going over small rocks and gravel, the truck never really feels planted and more like it is going over every bump in the road rather than absorbing them. As time went on and I started pushing the suspension, going faster and faster over small rocks, ditches, it started to feel like it was soaking up all the little bumps better. I don’t know if that was just me getting used to it, but at higher speeds the suspension felt just a little better than okay to me.



Things got real sketchy going up steep hills with off camber sections. I was consistently 3-wheeling on areas that would have been no problem on the eibachs I switched from. At one point, I was at about 23* body roll and felt like I was going to tip over. It feels like there is absolutely no flex in the suspension when going at crawling speeds.



What I am really hoping for with a revalve is that what I am experiencing now is what it would feel like when the compression settings are closed all the way. And then with the compression adjusters all the way open, a soft, plush ride that I can crawl over rocks and the suspension easily flexes so it doesn’t feel like I am tipping over. Then, I could run somewhere in the middle when driving on road for a nice balance. I don’t know if that range of adjustment is possible with the adjusters, but that is what I thought I would be getting with the ride shocks.

Thanks for the review, looking forward to seeing how accutune handles it. Definitely seems like a revalve may help a lot.

One thing I was really hoping for is a plusher ride at slow speeds....
