Suspension lifts are confusing… so many options, so many bad options and so many components to understand. This video is a crash course to get you the details you need to make more informed decisions.
Overlanding for Beginners is a series we will be adding additional videos to in the future to help get overlanders out on the road without wasting a lot of money. The series goal is to help overlanders build purpose-built vehicles that match the terrain and challenges they intend to take on.

Thanks for sharing your research and experience. I went with my overland companies and your advice put the OME51 on with no lift earlier this year and love my FJ’s ride. Feels like I have a new vehicle off road, winding roads and pulling my small trailer.
That was a helpful video. How do we know when it’s time for new leaf springs. I’ve got a ’97 Tacoma which probably has it’s original springs. Had a yard of soil in the back and was extremely worried. Does the excessive sagging mean bad springs or bad shocks, or both.
Also, I’ve been wanting to remove the 2″ body lift and don’t know if that needs to be done before new suspension.
Great video. Thanks for the considerations.
Cheers mate.
