What are you thoughts on the Race Series shocks on the road? Any changes/improvements?

I’m going to do my best to explain this as best as I can. It’s like putting Kw coilovers on a gt3.

The ride is so much more compliant and controlled. Before over certain bumps and driving, the truck would float around all four corners and sometimes wouldn’t give the most confidence. I always felt the truck was hard to drive it quickly in turns with bumps because it would float around too much for my liking. The ride is slightly stiffer but still comfortable if that makes sense. The truck with collars and forscan adjustment was a stiffer

The new shocks have gotten better and better each day I’ve driven it. The additional rebound and compression adjustment coupled with the increased valving zones really do make it a noticeable difference. The truck itself feels much more planted through turns and bumps. There is also a more of a
Noticeable change in suspension stiffening when going through the drive modes vs stock. Stock I felt a change but it was minimal.


The truck was slightly nose high before with 1.25” collars and now it’s dead level. When installed the shocks we left them at the factory height setting until they break in and make a different decision.

A few updates since taking delivery.
- Swarfworks 3BL with Starlink and dual Antennas
- Swarfworks lower trailing arm skids
- Swarfworks rear winch/WARN Zeon Platinum 12S
- SPV Linkable front lights and 9-volt camera extension
- Builtright rear seat setup for Icom radio

A few notes:
The Swarfworks 3BL is super clean and the next generation design from previous versions. The brake light profile matches the cab perfectly, wiring is clean, and the Starlink fits great.

I didn’t want to add more weight to the front of the truck so the rear winch was a great option. Install required minor cutting on the back of the bumper and plastic to accommodate the fair lead. The whole setup sandwiches between the frame and bumper using the 6 large bumper bolts. I ran the battery cables through the frame and setup a remote on/off since the whole winch is boxed in keeping it out of the elements.

I re-wired the SPV linkable lights so that I could turn on the light pairs independently and added the 9 volt camera extension to fix the 360 camera that was blocked by the lights.

The radio head install behind the seat using the Builtright organizer kept all the wiring managed and accessible. The face plate is mounted on a 67 design ball when not in use.
