    I jut put a icon stage 6 kit on my 2010 tundra and it has clickers to adjust from soft to hard, do I want them stiff or soft when off road? I assumed you would want them stiffer when ripping off road but I haven't been able to find a clear answer yet.

    Yeah, set them firmer when offroad so that it doesn't bottom out as easily, but if you're crawling slowly, you might want them softer for that part.

    Lol, that's why I say "firmer" instead.

    Nobody is going to have a good time if it’s too soft, not enough rebound as it were. That said, if you dial up the stiffness too much it’s going to hurt and you’ll regret it.
