I've worked pretty closely with their tuner, who's done some of the baddest suspension tuning on the planet, including most of AEV's. He said they straight up defy physics. It's got different modes at the flip of a switch, it can sense when the vehicle is in the air and instantaneously switch for landing, and the damping range is unreal. I saw the damping curves overlaid with some other more traditional 2.5" shocks and it's mindblowing what those things can do. Gonna be a game changer. Mix it with over 700hp and the bar just got raised way up. I don't have any info on it that isn't already available out there, most people just don't know where to look, don't know what they're looking at, or would rather bash the competition than educate themselves on what they're up against.

I wonder when they're going to filter that tech down to the aftermarket. Here, I was all excited to have 2.5 Kings on the Willys Wagon, and now they've got me feeling like a 1980's neon-colored S10 owner (no offense, JJ ).

99% of the aftermarket couldn't properly tune static bypass shocks(which inherently suck for street use anyway), let alone be able to properly manage active damping. Would be pretty sweet to be able to tune your suspension via laptop though

If you haven't bought already, check out Bilstein 60mm with Zone Control. They're a bit taller so packaging can be tricky, and applications are pretty limited, but it's a sweet setup. The benefit of big steps in damping ranges like a bypass, without the inherent super squishy middle zone before you get into the broad travel ranges. https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/blog/...mping-control/

Where Fox is by far the most overrated aftermarket shock company out there, Bilstein is easily the most underrated in the US.
