These might be the last big upgrades for our Jeep Gladiator for a while!!!
Ive had these shocks and exhaust parts for a few months now, waiting for a good time to make some videos for you guys.
Well, i think i found a fun way to turn this into a video!
Cassie is gone for the weekend, so the plan is to install the shocks and full exhaust on the JT. Once she gets back, we will see if she notices a difference in how it drives and handles!!
After i installed everything, i took it for a test drive myself...
The Teraflex Falcon shocks are amazing on this Jeep. The body roll is gone, handling has improved alot (It actually drives straighter since the body isnt rocking), and they provide a nice firm ride without being too stiff. The adjustments are very nice, especially on this truck.. I noticed a major difference in the ride when i installed the rooftop tent and rack on the bed. On top of that, when the bed is loaded down, the ride gets too soft in the rear. The Falcon shocks will allow us to stiffen up the rear end with the quick adjust feature on the 3.3s. I have these shocks on the JK, and i have loved them, so im sure ill continue to be happy with this choice down the road
I then installed the Downpipes (Headers), and Y pipe from AFE power. These things look amazing, the welds are beautiful, and the piping and bends are a major improvement over stock.
Right off the bat, the sound is so much deeper, not raspy, but truly deeper with a very aggressive tone.
The power difference is clearly felt in the lower RPMs, continuing up to 3K RPMs.
I did a 0-60 test, and found out it didnt improve. It could have been from a few factors.. Warmer ambient temp, break in of the new Catalytic convertors, ECM relearn time, or just the fact that the power added was not seen in a 0-60 test since that is all top end performance.
Overall, the shocks are amazing, and the exhaust power and sound is clearly noticeable when daily driving. Hopefully we can get the JT on the dyno sometime soon!

Thanks for watching!!! See you guys soon
