The perfect off-road vehicle probably doesn’t exist, but making off-roaders as close to perfect as possible is a big part of this sport. Every driver has their own idea of what “perfect” means, but there are a few things most people agree on. One of the most important is the suspension. It plays a huge role in how well a 4×4 vehicle performs off-road. But do you know how much each part of the suspension contributes to making the whole system work perfectly?

You’ve installed a winch and are ready to hit the road, but now your car is sagging. The front axle has noticeably dropped, which is definitely not ideal for safe driving. What should you do in this situation? Don’t worry just yet—we have some solutions for you.

In an off-road vehicle used as intended, the suspension has to work hard. Sometimes it almost has to do a split, but above all, it needs to provide stable handling over all the bumps you don’t intend to avoid. That’s why its parts, especially the shock absorbers, need some enhancement. How do different types of shock absorbers work, and which are best for off-roading? Let’s find out.

If we were in the USA, we would never ask this question. There, pickup trucks are used every day and are a natural part of the landscape. In Europe, however, pickups are not as widely seen or chosen, either for off-road use or by regular drivers. Is that fair? Learn why it might be worth buying a pickup and whether you should choose a model with coil springs or leaf springs.

You probably feel excited just thinking about driving an off-road vehicle, especially something like a Jeep. But sometimes, that nice vision can turn into a real nightmare. Have you heard of “death wobble”? If you have, you know what we’re talking about. Don’t let fear control you. Learn what causes this phenomenon, how to prevent it, and what to do if it happens.

When you become the proud owner of an off-road vehicle, one thing is certain: it won’t be long before you start making modifications. After all, there’s a reason you chose this type of car. If you’re not already a passionate fan of off-roading, perhaps you’re planning a trip. However, 4×4 travel is not easy, especially for vehicles. It involves a lot of extra weight that the factory suspension isn’t designed to handle. The springs supports this the most, so it’s important to learn how to choose the right springs for your vehicle’s weight.

Pick-up trucks and off-road vehicles don’t have an easy life. In many cases, they work as hard as real workhorses. They not only carry heavy loads or baggage but also travel on very rough roads. Sometimes, pickups can be as stubborn as a mule—sagging at the rear and refusing to go further. In these situations, it’s worth giving them a breath of life and some fresh air. What are we talking about? Keep reading to learn about air spring kits.
