Suspension Kit Buyers Guide

What's brand new-or a returning favorite-for your truck

By Tori Tellem

When it comes to aftermarket suspension offerings, those of you with older solid-axle rigs have a plethora of lift options out there. But for owners of later-model 4x4s (i.e., IFS and other monstrosities), suspension choices can often seem limited, or even nonexistent. But fear not, we've canvassed the leading suspension manufacturers and uncovered a variety of new kits-most of them bolt-ons-for those of you with newer fullsize trucks, as well as for those of you who are contemplating plunking down some hard-earned dough on a brand-new FJ Cruiser or JK Wrangler. Prices quoted here were provided, when available, by the manufacturers.
