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.
I'm buying a Toyota Tacoma soon and I'm interested in What would be the best Shock to purchase mid to high-end suspension setups w/ UCA's. I want to do overlanding with minor jumps/hitting whoops and rock crawling. I'm looking to run 33s with my build not looking to run 35s at all in the future. I've been looking at emu bp51s but I'd like to know if Icon or Kings would be the better choice. Any feedback would be absolutely amazing as I'm just starting to learn about Overlanding + suspension ect… 😁
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.
Eibach if available, Fox 2.0 if not. But also a budget oriented shock like the KYB monomax will also work. Lots of options there, depending on budget. hit us up support@shocksurplus.com
Thanks for the excellent clarification of “needs” vs “wants”.

We had Icon stage 8 on a 2nd Gen Tacoma as well and they are great option.
Currently waiting on these guys to get a shipment in of bilstein 4600's for my 99 F150 so I can order!! so excited!
Hopefully soon!
Very well done
Thank you! Cheers!

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.
Recommendation for a ford f350 for hunting and mountain overlanding?

I can’t find part 2
We are looking into where this is located as it should have be relisted with the rest of the videos when we had to reupload everything.
@@ShockSurplus awesome thank you! Loved the informative video. Look forward to seeing part 2.
@@ShockSurplus did you find it?
I used the old spring on my Xterra with new 4600 front and it's too loose and even all over the road , less than a year old . What should I do ???
Your springs might be worn out. Have you changed that out since then or still running it?
@@ShockSurplus still on old spring, would a new factory spring help or are there after aftermarket that would give the quality ride for the 4600 front
“Part 1”….
part 2 had a snag in it, soon
