    Part 2 of the suspension shoot-out from these guys. This one was their low cost comparison. A little goofy, but great information. Part 1, their high-end was great, too. Part 3 will be their mid-range comparison, supposedly out later this summer?
    Unfortunately they've been using Taco's, but I understand why.

    Without spoiling results... One thing that they didn't mention is that on the Bilsteins is that I am almost certain that they are assembled on 885 coils (or another lift spring). I think it's the right way, but this might give someone the expectation that grabbing lift via the circlips on stock coils will provide the same results.

    According to Braeden of Overland Outfitters, they used OEM springs. From Tacoma World.

    Watched the video yesterday, got some really good information in there. Definitely not surprised about what took first place, that seemed to be a no brainer

    I was pretty surprised.

    I'm looking forward to the midrange comparison the most.

    It's so hard to see, but I definitely like that.

    Yeah I think that a ton of people will benefit from the midrange. At least for me the Kings and Foxes of the world are just out of reach at the time being

    There's two sets of shocks I'm interested in seeing how they stack up in the midrange comparison. They are on the list of the 7 being tested.
    I have my opinions of them from actual use, but I want to see the opinions of them on back to back comparisons with other offerings available. Something I'm unable to do myself.

    Unfortunately, I do know that vehicles matter, too. A LOT. But, this will provide some decent info.

    I can't wait to see the midrange comparison and the 7 lucky shocks.
