the suspension being soft in this jeep... how did that happen, is it because of the bilsteins?did you feel that the new suspension set up has taken away a lot of off road ability?or is it something we can live with as long as we dont do any extreme off roading?
the stock MM540 is very stiff. is the MM550 different suspension-wise?
sorry for all the questions, but a project like this has been a dream for me since I was in school.
Love the pics. |
No problems with questions. I love discussing jeeps!
No turbo as of yet, but I definitely want to get one in. Just have not had the time. The Red Jeep has been the main project vehicle, and has taken up most of my time....it is like a r&d platform for performance enhancements with 40 hours of time on jackstands to ever 1 hour of driving.
Suspension is totally stock except the shocks and is very flexy and good for off road. I have had 3 sets of shocks on this jeep since I bought it. The first was factory units. Total junk. The next set where Rancho 5000s which are not very good and very stiff. The current set are Bilstein HD gas charged. These are the best by far and work awesome off and on road.
I can't comment on how stiff it is comared to an MM540 as I have never driven one. But my reference point is that of Jeeps and not cars. This MM550 XDP is soft compared to my Red Jeep which is really stiff.
