You pressing on the shock is nothing compared to how much weight the Jeep exerts on the shock. It really doesn't mean anything. You could be weak. Even if you were strong it wouldn't mean anything as far as ride quality. JJ is running outboard tuned shocks, so you aren't going to be able to approach the ride quality he has under his current iteration without a few years of work. If you want to drive the Jeep soon, then give up on that pipe dream, get a cheap shock, smaller wheels, and set your tire pressure right.
Nah bro. This was the douchy reply. I came here because the wealth of knowledge I’ve seen here is astounding and I value the opinions I see. Being a jerk on the internet to a guy asking a legitimate question is just….well douchy. I saw your reply. And I saw rancho. I’ve also seen some here be total dicks and give bad advice to be cute. So I like to get a decent general idea. Sorry my knowledge of jeeping isn’t as broad as yours.
