   Hi All,

   Thought I’d post a brief review of the AccuTune Off-road 2.5″ Stage 4 lift. I asked some questions about it initially, didn’t get much response, and decided to take a gamble on it.

   I’m glad I did – In short, it’s AWESOME!

   I purchased mine with the Fox 2.0 Remote Reservoir shocks with the LSC adjusters. These have been custom tuned by AccuTune for use with their springs.

   The ride quality (on 35s) is great. It’s more controlled than factory, more composed, and generally doesn’t feel floaty. I’ve only got about 100 miles on it through varied terrain, but so far it’s great.

   It was too cold to play with the adjusters too much yesterday (4 degrees….), but some basic adjustments showed that they are certainly impactful. On my pot-hole laden roads, though, the jeep handled it like a champ. Wasn’t bouncing around, just soaked it up and kept going. I found that I was blasting through known sections with a much higher velocity than previously.

   Overall – I’m extremely happy with my choice. Can’t wait to get this out on the trail.

   This is my 4th lift/shocks ive had on my jeep in the year ive had it. First was rough country spacer, to make sure i liked the height. Next was Rock Krawler and falcon shocks had my issues with it and wasnt happy, however it was among the first batches they had out. Third was Metalcloak 2.5 with rocksport shocks, great lift great components. Rode and handled amazing, insane flex, highly recommended. Now, Accutunes 2.5” comfort ride coils with fox factory race 2.5” shocks for 3.5-4” lift.

   So I really love suspension performance coming from growing up in the desert with trucks and motorcycles and racing and the like. And through all these lifts that I had ive been seeking out the best handling I can get for what I like to do. Which led me to fox factory series. I originally ordered from northridge 4×4 and they were back ordered for months. So I looked somewhere else that had them in stock. Low and behold Accutune offroad had some. For those of you that dont know about accutune check out their website, some very good detailed information on there and a great group of guys. https://accutuneoffroad.com/ and every purchase of shocks you make from them comes custom tuned to your vehicle

   I contacted Ryan over there and asked him if they had any in stock and they did, but he told me since they were new for the new JL he has not had a chance to tune a set of them yet. Since I was close enough to their shop in Carson, ca I dropped my jeep off to them last week to work their magic. I originally was going to keep my MC coils and just install the shocks I wanted, but I knew that wouldnt give me the ride quality I was looking for since MC springs are a bit stiffer. So I opted to get the whole package done with their springs and tuning my shocks to them.

   I dropped my jeep off to them last monday, and picked it up friday. Since i dropped it off Ryan and his group of guys had all the new springs, hydros, bump spacers, and shocks installed and started tuning. They spent the rest of the week tearing apart and tuning and putting back together and re test driving my jeep until it was handling perfect. All the way up till friday afternoon an hour before they closed they finished the final valve tuning. They put in a lot of work and a lot of fine tuning to dial my jeep in just right.

   Once I picked it up Ryan and I went for a test drive around the roads where they do all the testing each time they make a new valving adjustment. And lets just say this road is incredibly screwed up. It looks like big desert whoops with ledges and drop offs. Needless to say great spot to test speed and bottoming resistance on everything. The way they dialed in my suspension felt absolutely amazing on this shitty road, we were able to hit most of it 30+. The jeep felt smooth and controlled over every hit and bottom out was plush and not harsh at all. No bouncy or head toss, it was just planted through the whole road no matter what size the bumps.

   So all in all my first ride/ daily drive with the new suspension is absolutely amazing. I will update this like i said once Ive had the chance to really test it offroad. But from the quality of work and the great customer service and the overall performance Ryan was able to achieve out of their kit is something to be commended for. Im incredibly happy how it turned out and really thankful to Ryan and his guys for the amount of time they dedicated to my rig to get it handling so amazing.

   Hey, this review has been a long time coming but I have to say a definite 5 Stars for my stage 4 lift on my 2020 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon! I bought the Jeep in 2020 and have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do for a lift. I was waiting to pull the trigger until I was closer to my 3 year/36k Jeep warranty being done, just in case. This gave me a lot of time to research what lift to go with. I had tons of input from friends and they all had stories of what they had wished they had done for their lifts and I wanted to get it right the first time. Looking through a JL forum I came across a post about Accutune and them helping out people who had “frankenstined” together various lift components with their tuning shocks. I liked the fact a company was watching and responsive in forums. When I dug in further I saw they had moved from up north down to San Diego where I live.

   After tons of internet browsing and dreaming I finally took the plunge and bought my Accutune stage 4 lift a few months ago. I really wanted to have Accutune install the lift but unfortunately they were not doing installs “for the foreseeable future” but they recommended one of the installers they work with (in Chua Vista) who did the installation of everything. By the way they did excellent work for a reasonable price!

   I like the fact I had a “consultation” about tuning my shocks, what add on’s I have on my Jeep, how much do those things weigh, what I plan to add in the future and what type of ride I was looking for. You can not get that level of customization from someone who can not tune your shocks. Long story but the lift is excellent and I highly recommend! The pairing of the springs with the tuned shocks – I went with the Fox remote reservoir – leaves a great ride. I am not a hard core off roader but do get the Jeep dirty and we do drive it on somewhat long trips so comfort is important. The lift even passed the “wife test”. She was so concerned about a harsh ride, when she drove it the first time she came home and said it rides way better than stock. I know Accutune could tune the shocks from mild to wild so whatever you are looking for give them a call. If you are like me, stage 4 with the “adventure tune” is all you need.

   Very happy with everything, thanks Accutune! Ok, a little bummed I can’t add a picture of my jeep to this review :()
