Someday I wear it is going to happen I am gonna get my o8 sold and get a new 2015 when that happens I am wondering what every one thinks is the best suspension for wash board roads.

went out yesterday doing some mild off road well desert dirt road with a friend I he has anew 2015 jku men is o8 with an ome lift. both of us bounced around like crazy. I think it was worse for him though because he seems to go slower than me neither of us was going fast but he is an old desert buggy racer and so I suspect probably drives a lot faster than me

so to clarify what suspension have you guys had that was best on wash board rd I am looking at 2-3 lift no more for a 2015 JKU rubicon I will eventually run 35's and I will use a fender kit to keep the lift to a minimum . The jeep will also have bumpers and a winch so there will be some extra loads.

recommendations?

 

coilovers/bypass or oris that are properly tuned all around, ideally double triangulated front and rear....now back to most peoples world, try maybe adding some hydraulic bumps and possibly swapping shocks.

 

Remote reservoir shocks are supposed to be good for washboard. I know AEV offers them, not sure about anyone else

 

though they sacrifice some ground clearance, I suggest some lower control arm drop brackets. Keeping your control arms as parallelle to the ground as possible will greatly improve your ride.

 

Tuned shocks, flat arms, and go fast.

 

EVO double throwdown... It's like riding on air when going over multiple bumps

 

.....and PA roads are worse then any desert!

 

I freakin hate washboard - the only thing that keeps me from losing my mind is airing down to about 10-12 psi. Gotta be careful in the corner though....

 

Gotta agree with Sea Bass. The best "suspension" for washboard roads is airing down the tires. At 10 psi, ... washboard? what washboard?

 

Reservoir shocks help to negate the shocks overheating from rapid shaft movement. The low air pressure makes the sidewall of the tire absorb more of the washboard. This along with flat arm geometry will be the best combination to REDUCE (not negate) the feeling of the washboard. The reason being, why would you valve your shocks for washboard when the Jeep is designed for hard drops (crawling) or for desert crossing (Cornering/speed)?
