Back to Back Shock Comparisons (1 Viewer)

[TeCKis300]

Not exactly specific to the 200-series, but a lot of these same brands and lines of shocks are available for the 200-series. Refreshing to see actual comparison tests rather than filler commentary. Arguable as to whether these exact observations would apply? Some of the more major brands in the industry definitely put more effort into tuning. Versus others that are Instagram flare? I would say based on brand philosophies, pedigree, and tuning capabilities, seems to add up. You'd think these companies would put their best tuning efforts in a very large platform like the Taco.

I hold a couple companies in high esteem and good to see they remain benchmarks in capability and consistency

Medium to budget setups (OME Nitrochargers, Dobinsons IMS, Bilstein 5100, Eibach Stage 1, Westcott spacers, Fox 2.5 Race Series)


High end setups (Fox 2.5, Elka, Icon, Bilstein 8100, King)

Worth watching for people looking for shocks. At the end of the day, the comment that stood out is “they are all better than stock”. The hipster stoner croaking type talking may be painful for some to listen to, but the info was generic enough that any level of knowledge base will be able to understand the results.

Hahahahaha

Ian from Wheel Every Weekend is a good friend of mine and have worked on several trucks together.

Agree the commentary is painful, and i raz him about it all the time.

Dude 100% knows his stuff though!

Wouldn’t it be nice if manufacturers just published the shock dyno curves…
