    Hey guys, I’m wondering what people’s thoughts are after having put on some of the pricey-er suspension packages? Like the Icons, Kings, OME BP-51, Radflo, etc. Is it actually worth it?? Let’s be honest, that’s a lot of money to spend on suspension if you’re not racing, or even just wanting to hit trails at 50mph.

    What is the big difference in feel/ ride quality over something like the popular Bilstein 5100 or the Toytec?

    Would it be worth it or would it even be noticed when you only do slow speed off-roading? Maybe it’s an on-road difference that you feel?

    Thoughts, comments, etc. are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

    To explain further, I’m not really interested in the actual quantitative differences between all these (ie. Icon uses this system with this rebound rate and Kings use this one). I’m more interested in the perceived differences... How does your butt feel riding $400 bilsteins vs Fox vs Kings, etc.

    I read though that, it was mostly technical and what wasn’t was just “King’s are way better” or “it’s so worth it” but I want to know *why* lol. I off-road maybe twice a month, Taco is my daily driver. So is it only off road comfort? On road comfort? If I don’t go over 25 on the trail will I even notice a difference?
