    Hi everyone.I hope I can get some guidance. I am wantimg to buy my suspension once and not get more than i need or not have enough. I want to be able to overland with no more than 600 lbs in the rear. Proably will have a front bumper and winch sliders and some armor. I plan on getting aluminum when feasible. I will daily it with maybe 100 lbs in the bed. I would like to take some fire roads at speed not baja but def not driving mra daisy. I dont really need to do extreme rock crawling as i have a 17 jku rubicon recon with rock krawler suspension. I realize these kits are not all in the same level or price. Price is not the issue i just want something that will work for me. Would like a semi plush ride that can take big hits. Appreciate any and all of your input. And yes i independently researched all of these on here. But couldnt find any comparisons. Thank you

    I personally wouldn't touch the Teraflex stuff. I've got their 3.3s on my wife's JLUR and, IMO, they;re garbage. BP-51 are a great shock, I ran them on my '16 4Runner. They would be a second choice next to a King/Fox/ADS. If you go BP-51, you'll have a great riding truck.

    Have been doing some more research with fox , king and elka around the same price point as the bp51. Would Elka Level 4 Complete 2.5 with DSC Suspension Kit, king level 2 and fox level 4 all extended travel be a better option ?

    What size tire are you running . Are you more about high speed performance?

    No, I wanted an all-around good ride and I think the Kings are perfect. I’m currently on 285/70R17 KM3s and will soon be going to 35s.

    Have you already regeared? If so which what ratio. Have you heard of any one putting 4.30 in an auto with 285's if ao did it make much of a difference?
