$700 suspension upgrade vs. $3200 off-road suspension upgrade Does more expensive mean more better? Let’s find out! We bought two identical Toyota Tacomas, and we’re modifying them to be fun, daily drivers that you can take literally anywhere, except the ocean. One Taco gets expensive parts, and one gets cheap parts. Then we test them, to see which components are worth spending your hard-earned money on. Upgrading your suspension with new, longer travel springs and shocks can improve your truck’s ground clearance, ride quality, and ability to keep all 4 tires in touch with the ground while driving over uneven terrain. They also let you run bigger, sicker wheels and tires. Today, Hi Truck is getting…. An ICON Stage 4 Suspension System including front coilovers and rear shocks --both with external reservoirs-- a pair of add-a-leafs, and upper control arms all for $3200. And Low Truck is getting a Bilstein 3” lift kit which comes with springs, shocks, and an add-a-leaf kit. Our suspension upgrade costs $700-- less than a fourth the cost of Hi Team’s kit.
