    Shock and Awe

    Selecting the right shocks for your off-road vehicle really begins with what kind of off-roading you’re planning on. A stiff ride can be bone-jarring, but too soft can effect your vehicle’s handling at higher speeds.
    Shocks enhance the overall stability and control of your vehicle, allowing better handling and maneuverability on rough terrain. By maintaining consistent tire contact with the ground, they ensure optimal traction and prevent potential rollovers or loss of control, especially when navigating steep inclines, sharp turns, or rocky landscapes.

  4. Upgrade Your Toyota with High-Quality Aftermarket Upper Control Arms

    Upgrade Your Toyota with High-Quality Aftermarket Upper Control Arms

    An Upper Control Arm is typically found in vehicles with a double-wishbone or A-arm suspension setup. It is a hinged, usually triangular-shaped arm that connects the vehicle's chassis to the wheel hub or steering knuckle. The upper control arm works in conjunction with the lower control arm, allowing the wheel to move vertically while maintaining proper alignment, stability and handling while the bushings and ball joints provide flexibility and help absorb some of the shock and vibration.

    Upper Control Arms connect the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame, enabling the wheels to move up and down while maintaining their position relative to the chassis. Here are some key features of upper control arms:
