I really want to see you throw stock TRD PRO shocks in the mix

Check these ones: Eibach stage 1, Bilstein 5100, Bilstein 6112/5160, TRD Pro, Dobinsons, OME, Ironman.

It would be awesome to see the Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro shocks/leaf packs tested. They’re affordable, their design is pretty different to other brands, and I think it would be great to see their performance claims tested. Love what you guys are doing 🛻💨

Shock value was a GREAT series and very original. I really would look forward to that for mid-grade packages.

Your next series should include Ironman 4x4, Old Man Emu, Dobinsons, and maybe something from Rough Country? Those are the brands I'd like to see. I think you guys were quite harsh on Fox, but fair. Great series. Thank you for all that information.

The original series was awesome. Would definitely like to see the fox 2.0 vs icon stage 1/2 vs elka 2.0 vs bilstein 6112/5160 vs TRD pro fox. Personally eying the Elka 2.0s for my tacoma 👍

Love to see Dobinsons IMS tested. Love the series great work.

Eibach stage 2 pro kit!!!! Is a must

How about the ironman foam cell? I just got a set installed and would love to see if your opinion goes with mine. Great job. Loved the series and waiting to see more.

Do a collab with @tinkerersadventure for the budget/mid testing! His engineering evaluation on the suspension measurements were really interesting and would only add to your blind-testing. Bilstein 5100, Bilstein 6112, OME 2-3", Dobinsons, Eibach Pro-Truck Stage 1, Fox 2.0 Performance series.

Much respect - stick to your guns. As much as your testing can be panned as anecdotal its the most controlled and scientific comparison I have ever found. Loving it.

Loved the series, I think the comment translated as "I have an overinflated opinion of myself and disagree with what you said about one of the brands that I like"! 😆

Cool series keep it up, I have 5.5 years on my foxes with plenty of abuse and no issues. However I’m running 14” 650# and custom valving with an LT set up. Time is the true test of parts

I have the Fox performance elites front and back on my Tacoma and they’ve been phenomenal. Being able to find tune them with the DSC’s on the fly is great. I got them from Accutune off-road and they do their own tuning on the shocks when you buy them based on your driving style and added weight. I had a bilstein 6112/5160 setup before the Fox performance elites. I probably would say that the Foxs aren’t worth the extra ~5 grand but the performance is definitely massively better. Better compression and I bottom out about 90% less. I wish there was some rebound control as they can top out kind of hard, but not as bad as the bilsteins.

Ironman4x4 foam cell! Been on this for 20k miles and they've been much better than stock and have not had issues. Would love to see how they compete.

Awesome series. Definitely would like to see it done on some stuff that 95% of weekend warriors use. Like 6112/5160, Eibach 2.0’s, Dobinsons IMS just to name a few. These all seem very close in the price range. Thanks!

I'd love to see you guys test Dobinsons suspension.

Great series guys! I love my 6112s and look forward to the mid budget test. I'd love to see you guys include 4600s, 5100s, and 6112s.

If you guys could review the Iron Man Foam Cell Pro shocks that would be great! It would be interesting to see how they stack up

For the budget suspension test, it’s probably mostly for folks who want suspension on their off road vehicle which is also their daily driver (like myself). So 95-98% on road but wanting good (not necessarily the best) performance off road when we go. I think that’d be good to keep in mind for the test. I like the options several comments already stated. Well done and looking forward to the next test!

love the straight, no BS, content of your channel ! So, in your opinion, when do you really believe that shocks should be replaced on vehicles that love to have fun, but aren't abused (not towing anything wicked heavy, rock crawling etc). Some of your reviewed product/upgrades are north of $2K.... I prefer to ware out my current equipment before just replacing stuff (I have a wife and she controls the checkbook if you get my drift). Keep up the great work....

Please add the Dobinsons MRR & Ironman Foam Cell Pro to that list of shocks to test.

Love what you guys are doing! It’s so good for the consumer to watch this before purchasing shocks.

Would love to see you guys include Dobinsons in your next test. They make a great product in that mid range price point.

So basically Fox's response amounts to: You tested our cheaper shocks. If you want better performance/ride, pay more for the top-of-the-line models.

Loved the shock series. Looking forward to the next series😊

I’d love for you to try out the Ironman Foam Cell Pro setup. It uses a non-pressurized shock, and downstream of that a lot of other differences, so I’m curious what the differences are.

Test Factory OEM Shocks, then slap on TRD Pro Shocks, next Bilstein 5100's, then Bilstein 6112's & 5160's, then Old Man EMU (soft valve), Eibach series, and lastly Rancho's or Pro Comps....please

I appreciate that the truck was stock level performance, but I really wish we would be more specific when we call something stock. Wheels and tires can have a huge impact of the performance of a vehicle. If you want to test stock, it's pretty critical that the wheels and tires represent that. It's fair to say that most customers will change those things before suspension, I totally agree, but that's just not stock anymore.

6112s ride awesome (when they are fresh) I just replaced mine but had to buy an entire new kit $820 bc Bilstein DOES NOT SELL JUST the shocks... you gotta buy the collars and springs all over again when tbey blow out(they dont last a lifetime) BC I had to vuy another kit I opted for the HD 6112 lart# for 4 runner w 650lb springs. They will give you 3" lift out of the box.. 600lb kit is 2.5-2.6" lift. 650s make no swaybar life easier to stomach also! Do the HD kit and dont look back.

You guys are putting out excellent content - fun, informative, and entertaining. I've been saying for a while now, I much prefer side by side comparisons to help combat the bro science and old biases. The key whether it is tire pressure, type/size, suspension... and so on is to control for the variables so that the one thing you are trying to understand is isolated. It doesn't need to be painfully rigorous, just enough to show what a run at 10 psi vs. 15 vs. 20 or whatever does. I drive a full-size and jeep or taco guys will say I have to do X or Y or must never do Z... but they aren't accounting for the different load/vehicle or whatever.

Lmao the last comment is a gem 🤣 keep up the good work! Next year bring stickers to KOH!

Here to comment to help the channel, we need more shock series letssss gooooo

Please do the Dobinsons IMS!

Dobinsons MRR and IMS! One is high end, one is mid. Throw 'em both in the next test.

I wanna see eibach stage 2r! It’s supposed to be the best 2.0 system you can buy for the taco right now!

Bilstein, Old man Emu, Ironman 4x4 Foam cell, All dogs offroad Koni 82, Dobinson

Also like to see on the higher end or even mid level ADZ, Locked Offroad, Radflow, Apache, and maybe other lesser know shocks that offer similar entry to 2.5” shocks.

Great info!! Looking forward to the next test!

So glad you guys did this. I would love to see the same test for the next gen Tacoma and Land Cruiser

Would love to see some Dobinson IMS setups!

Thanks for this series! Would love to see - 6112 vs icon stage 1!

The good thing about all of those shocks is that you can revalve them however you want them to ride

Please test OME Nitro and Ironman 4x4 Nitro kits. I. Interested to see how the 6112s do.

Would love to see a video on the Rough Country. I have the Vertex set on my Tundra that I offroad with and as much as people trash them, I've had nothing but a solid experience. In a way I'm doing my own test as there is little information on them.

Can we see Eibach Pro truck coilovers with the rear bypass shocks for the mid level test? I know a few front bypass coil overs, ADS, FOX, etc use Eibach springs.

Great opinion piece and follow up. Looking forward to a budget review and maybe we could see something on the 4r/GX/FJs? May not be too different then a taco, but with the coil spring I'm sure there's something there.

"Budget" is subjective, what is considered budget? $800? 1500? Testing the Bilstein 6112 is the logical choice but the budget Bilstein shock would be 5100 series. For me I would be interested in Bilstein 6112, Icon stage 1, OME 90021/2888, Toytec Aluma, and being being well known in the classic car world I would like to see how Eibach stacks up. I agree with some of the other commenters; seeing how some of these "budget" setups compares to the factory TRD Pro Fox suspension. Thanks, this was a fun series!

ADS, RADFLO, SWAY AWAY shocks would be interesting to add

Oh mannn.. I can’t wait. I have the 6112s on mine and would love to hear how it can be improved if it can. Awesome job at being so honest, that’s something really hard to come by now a days. Keep up the great work Overlandoutfitters!!!

Would like to see the entry level comparison as well, the usual 5100, 6112, OME, Dobinson, etc.

Please test the Ironman foam cell pros!

On the less expensive test I'd like to see Old Man Emu. I had Bilstein 5100s on my 1998 4Runner and didn't like them. Switched to OME and I'm satisfied. I'd love to see if there is an even better option at this price point.

Can't wait to see the mid level shock review. do the - 6112, IMS, Foam Cell, Toytec or Elka, MT-64, Icon's. Anthing bigger diameter with no Res.

This was such a great series!! Really need a similar one for the $1000 stuff (Fox 2.0, icon exp, 6112, eibach, dobinson, Ironman etc)!!! Such good stuff!! Also - FWIW, i ran fox factory series RR on a 5g 4Runner but revalved for much lower slow speed compression and was much happier. But TBH i thought my buddy's ICON 2.5s were better. I've been pretty open about it. My only wish is to see ICON soften up a bit and go progressive piston.i like it better on road with sway bars intact.

Toyota TRD Pro with Westcott Designs Lift and Eibach 1.30" springs and Deaver rear springs!

So many people hate on Rough Country shocks but I have a feeling most have never used them. I'd love to see some of them blind tested. Also, thinking about the OME medium duty kit so I'd like to see that one too. Maybe even add a cheap $150 spacer lift to the mix to see how bad or not bad it might be?

I would love to see the BP-51 by OME reviewed. Even if thrown in a more budget Roundup. You would hope they are by far the best.

mid budget classic OME 2” with OME springs. loved the first series!

The Dobinson IMS would be great to see.

Test the Terraflex Falcons as a budget set 👍🏻

I have the Fox 2.5 elite series dsc (adjustable). They are great for street and trail riding (NY). We don't have desert here. The company I bought them from shop that does a tune based on your usage. Adventure, Dual Sport, or Trail tune. Excellent so far.

This was a great idea for a series. OME, and Eibach would fit well with the Bilstein 5100 and 6112

Just found your channel and man lots of good stuff here. Can't wait to see where you guys go next and test out future suspension systems

Eibach pro stage 2 should be on the list.

TOYTEC! I’d love to see a test on their coilovers

The DRYEST video on youtube. Dryer than the desert in their video. I kept falling asleep!! 😴😴

Subscribed to both channels. Looking forward to the mid-range series! I have a stock f-150 FX4 and I’m debating between 6112-5160 and Fox 2.0s. I would sacrifice handling, to ensure it’s not too harsh.

Yo Braeden, I have the fox's and I do agree with what they said. Imo, you don't see sxs's with kings or icons. You see them with fox for a reason. Hopefully, that applies to my tacoma. Better than Bil 6112s.

Excellent series! Hope to see the same with 5100's and type. 👍👍 Lake Havasu 🌞 Az

Please consider including the Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 and the Ironman Pro Foam Cells

That was a great review of those suspension setups. I would definitely be interested in seeing the same review done on the more entry level suspension products out there. I just bought a 23' TRD Sport and would like to know how something like the Elka 2.0/2.5 IFP's would differ from stock(Being Canadian myself, would like to stick with Canadian made if it's a quality product). I know you guys really focus more on the offroading/overlanding environments but I'm really looking for something that's more for on-road daily driver setup which your previous series did have some coverage. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

I'd add to your list some ToyTech's. No One is testing those out, can't find one recent video... maybe there's some kind of legal thing there but, it's curious... and I'm curious how they stack up... Thanks for the awesome videos! Quality content!

I just bumped into your channel and you have great content! Easy choice to subscribe.

I ran some Fox 2.5s built specific for the 5.5in lift kit from BDS suspension. $1600.00 waste of money. Fox customer service was no help. Replaced the Fox with some imported Koni Raids and 700# coils for half the price of Fox.

Iron man 4x4 suspension

I have the Bilstein 6112's and 5160's in the rear. They are WAAAAY too stiff for a stock tacoma. If I load it up with 800 lbs of crap it actually feels proper. I knew it was bad once I took it off the jack and there was zero sag. If I was nearby I'd take it to you guys in a heartbeat

Trail boss for the win 🤘🏼 Know idea about that gentleman’s, comments so odd 😂😂 I can’t even translate that. Keep doing what your doing it rocks. Love the no BS style of these vids

Great entertaining content! Please add the stock OEM trd pro shocks in the line up. Not sure if those shocks qualify as low or mid budget since OEM parts are always expensive. 🤷‍♂️ Can’t wait for the adjuster series as well.

Love the series. Would be interesting to see the new foxes, on another note you guys should really try out radflo and ads racing if and when you do a video on shocks with adjusters. Great series!

would like to see rough country vertex line. at half the price of comparable other adjustable 2.5" kits with leafs and ucas its pretty tempting but all the other rc products are junk so its a bit of a gamble.

Could you guys test Ironman 4x4 cell foam pro?

I’m running the mid tier Rough Country M1 Monotubes, they are a MASSIVE upgrade over stock, and very affordable. I’d love to see you guys bring some light on a notoriously misjudged brand!

Please try the Yellow Old Man Emu nitro Gas, the Dobinsons IMS, Rough Country M1, Ironman Gas, and maybe Fox and Icon 2.0 without reservoir.

Definitely need to test ToyTec Aluma Series 2.5 shocks as part of the next round!

Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2R It would be great if you Include these in your comparison.

Please do Tacoma/Tundra vs Coil spring 120/160 platform. Would be cool to see if there's something else to look for as desirable for 4 links

Please include the BP 51 OME for your next suspension related video. Keep up the good content. Hopefully next time I visit BC I can visit the shop

I enjoyed the series. Please test Falcon sport shocks and Eibach pro-truck stage 2r

Personally, I’d love for someone do this with a typical Tacoma over landing setup.

Add the Dobinsons IMS to the budget shock value series.

Toyota's Pro Fox shocks, Radflo and ADS

Sounds like you should test the Fox 2.5 Pros to see the difference.

Damn I need that kind of expertise for the setup I want to achieve on my truck .

Looking forward to watching the results of the Fox Performance Elite.

Old man Emu BP-51'S. Let's see those tested at its various settings.

Gotta get some Dobinsons mid budget

About the comment on the finale. You guys failed the highest request considered. I’m upset at the magnitude replenishment of the shock factor and value. I submerged in your channel but previously disappointed and discouraged by the lack of discovery. Love you guys!!

Would love to see the Eibach stage 2/Stage 2R kit

I was expecting Fox to say the set they got had some kind of QC issue. Not so. Amazing. I was considering a Fox kit for my Miata this makes me kind of question that company. A car like that needs firm, sporty handling of course, but harsh shocks on sports cars are what you call slow. Also saw a guy with the Fox's on the track hitting the apex curbs, and after the inside tires come back down, they rebound back into the air 2-3x. I expect that from Ebay shocks, but not a $2,300 high-end kit from a company with alleged off-road experience. Strongly leaning towards Ohlins now instead.
