g-outs

I am by no means a noob, though I'm not a rock crawler, but I have been unable to find a cut and dry answer.
I understand the inferred consequences when people talk about them, and from reading digressive shocks handle them better, but what exactly is a g-out??

Im in more of the washboard and small bumps daily drive, but rains equal ruts and slow drops.

 

The term "G-Out" is referring to the G force you feel when hitting something like a big hole or falling off a big rock ledge. Essentially, feels like the entire truck and your body are falling from gravity very quickly and then smashing into whatever is at the bottom. Everyone has their spin on this term but that's kind of it in a nutshell. Or maybe I'm wrong and someone else can correct me with their own comments below.

Re: digressive vs linear vs blah blah blah shocks, that's a whole mountain of beaver wax that I'm not touching here because it gets people all riled up. Properly configured/valved shocks from reputable brands will likely handle it better than something basic and off the shelf.

Set up your suspension limits properly and don't do dumb things and it should help prevent how much you go kaboom and have to call a tow truck.

 

Thanks!
I have a complete OME nitrocharger kit with leaf pack on order. Pair the coils, leaf's and shocks together so I don't get into the weeds trying to piece something together.
linear/progressive/blah blah I was more indicating that im not a rock crawler so I dont experience big drops regularly so not around the terminology. daily driver but I live on washboard dirt road up a mountain so I definitely get my moneys worth out of my suspension. 49k on my 2020 OR and my shocks have been clapped for a while.
appreciate the response.

I don’t think there is any well accepted definition of the term “g-out”. I used to think it was what you experience when driving or riding through a dip big enough that both axles contact the bottom at high speed, ie not a washboard. You fall at 1G and then you go up at much more than 1G. If you are going fast enough, you will catch air on the exit.

I’ve mostly experienced this on dirt bikes, not so much with automobiles, but I suppose driving through long dip in the road can feel similar.
