Off Road Suspension and Other Upgrades You Should Consider

Off Road Suspension and Other Upgrades You Should Consider

Tires 

Tires may be the most important of all off road truck upgrades. Factory tires aren’t made for the trail. Fit your truck out with tires made for off-roading, meaning taller treads and a wider footprint.

Off Road Suspension – Basic Hardware

Your truck is going to be bounced around much more off road than it will on Hillsboro streets. The factory shocks and struts aren’t built for that kind of abuse. The kind of suspension-related off road accessories you should be looking for include shocks, struts, springs, and bushings. You’ll have a smoother ride and you’ll save your truck’s suspension.

Off Road Suspension – Lift Kits

If there’s one thing you need on the trail, it’s clearance. You’ll need to drive over rocks and stumps, as well as get out of ditches, ravines, and ruts. That’s why a good lift kit can be one of the best off road truck upgrades you can invest in.

A Winch

If you do enough off-roading around American Fork, you will inevitably get stuck. But a good winch can save the day by enabling you to pull your truck or a buddy’s vehicle out of a rut. That’s why a winch is one of the most useful off-road accessories you can add to your truck.

Extra Lighting

No one wants to find themselves in the middle of nowhere in the dark. If you’re on the trail after sundown or before sunrise, you need some really good lighting. There are multiple off-road truck upgrades for lighting on the market. We recommend at least getting a good light bar, which is very effective at illuminating the trail ahead.

Body Protection

There are lots of things on the trail that can scratch up or dent your truck or, even worse, grab onto the underbody and rip parts off. So, you should consider getting some off-road accessories that will protect your vehicle. This includes skid plating, which will protect the underbody, a bull bar, which will protect the front of your truck, and a good grille guard.
