What
to expect from your JounceShock-
The JounceShock
is the core of a secondary suspension system
that dramatically increases the capacity
of your vehicle’s suspension. Most systems
are designed such that the JounceShocks do
not engage the suspension of your vehicle
at ride height. Therefore the system does
not usually alter the ride height or on-road
ride quality of your vehicle. When you have
a heavy payload or take your vehicle off-road,
your suspension will compress more and engage
the JounceShocks. When the suspension engages
the JounceShocks, you may hear the initial
contact. This is normal and is an indication
that the JounceShocks are being applied.
As the vehicle is driven off-road you will
notice a couple of performance gains. First,
as you drive the vehicle over rough terrain
you will notice that it never feels as though
the vehicle is bottoming. Also, you will
realize that the vehicle moves up and down
lessÉ ÒGross Vehicle Motion ControlÓ as it
is called. These are changes caused by the
characteristic exponential air spring curve
and the critical damping of the JounceShock
units. These changes significantly enhance
the ability of the vehicle, the durability
of the vehicle, and the comfort level of
the occupants. This added capacity can be
misleading and care should be taken to learn
the new limits of your vehicle without damage
to the vehicle itself.
