    Moved to Utah a few months ago. Love it.

    Had my first 30 mile run down a BLM road at Escalante. Brutally ribbed out from Mother Nature. Destroyed my back.

    2018 Off road, KO2 E load 265/75/16. Will be running a few hundred pounds in back. Already have rear air, Firestone bags, cup.

    Finally time to upgrade the suspension. What can smooth out these roads for me. Would love bilsteins but QC and wait make me nervous. Thinking OME or Accutune Fox 2/3?

    Right off the bat, lowering tire pressure will make the ride a few times softer.
    Other than that, I can't really recommend suspension for your vehicle.

    Yep. Teeth rattler.

    About to pull the trigger on a DA air kit to address tires. Looked at it before. Now I can justify it.

    Awesome place. Wife and I went there on our honeymoon after hiking to Broken Bow arch.

    Accutune figures progressive shocks are the way to go along with tire pressure. Fox, king are progressive while Bilstein are digressive
