Overland Beginner's Shock & Suspension Guide

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

If you've been scrolling on instagram and binge watching videos on youtube about off-roading or overlanding, you may be lead to believe you need top of the line gear to enjoy yourself, but that’s the furthest from the truth. The factory suspension on most newer vehicles is extremely capable, and with minor upgrades can improve your experience on and off-road, whether that's more comfort or more control. You can get into some upgraded shocks for under $500 in a lot of cases.

    Thanks for the excellent clarification of “needs” vs “wants”.

    The pleasure is all ours. We try our best to get customers to ultimately decide what suits their needs specifically but hey if something wants some King 2.5 just to have King, we'll also help them out. haha

    I use icon CDCV for my heavy overland tacoma. I love them! I dial it down to one for washboard roads, and then crank up to 6-8 on rough trails. Daily drive at 4-5.

    We had Icon stage 8 on a 2nd Gen Tacoma as well and they are great option.

    Does a soft/plush/progressive shock with a sway bar mitigate the body roll issues and give best of both worlds?

    Not quite. You want to get firmer shocks for the stability concerns. It's hard to get the best of both worlds but one model that does this is OME BP51.
