Shock & Suspension Buyer's Guide - What is Control, Comfort, and Performance

Posted by Sean Reyes on

Our product is Knowledge, gained through Experience.

Your vehicle and driving style is unique, what someone thinks is soft, you may think is sloppy. What you may consider controlled and stable, others may consider too firm or harsh.

These are the ideas and feelings we address through our testing.

There is a shock for you and your style, and Shock Surplus aims to find you the best recommendations whether you daily commute on harsh roads, work the family farm or construction site, or hitting the trails on the weekend.

Our blog also highlights these real-world testing efforts in detail, which then informs the recommendations found in our shock buyer’s guides. At the time of this writing, we’re deep into the development of many suspension guides including: Nissan Xterra, Ram Power Wagon, Ford Bronco, Ford Ranger, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Charger, and the Toyota 4Runner... with more to come soon!

The Shock Guides that we have featured across the site go as deep as Year / Make / Model - to give ultra-specific recommendations. Our suggestions for suspension customers are based on what the individual's plans are for the vehicle and their specific needs. Our guides cover primary & secondary uses, prices, and other comparison metrics that can aid in your decision when outfitting your vehicle.
