Dirt King Testing 4G Shocks, Control Arms & More

I don’t understand poverty buttons. One of the biggest reasons I went with the TRD Off-Road upgrade package was to avoid the sea of blank switches. Honestly, I don’t get why Toyota leaves them there if the feature isn’t included. Why tease us with the empty spots? Even with the off-road upgrade package, there are still empty buttons. It was actually one of the main reasons I upgraded trims in the first place. At the time, I didn’t even care what the buttons did, I just didn’t want to be taunted every day by reminders of what I could’ve had. I’m not even sure what features I’m missing out on. Now that I actually go off-road with the truck, I use the accessory wiring and axle lock, but somehow I still only have the one button on the main console. How much do you actually have to spend to not be reminded daily of what you missed? And what features am I even missing out on with this package?

Check it out. Got some photos from Dirt King from their test runs in the desert on their new 2.5 coilovers and shocks they're going to release soon. The kit includes rear springs that are developed alongside the rear shocks for the best performance. The truck is also running their other prototypes for rear links, billet UCAs and their signature lowers. This is basically an example of the best you can do with mid-travel bolt-on components.

A few images below with the truck air born and bottoming out. The owner/president said once properly equipped, the 4G platform has some seriously good potential.

I ran DK's suspension on my 3G build for 4 years. Everything was top notch. They have a killer reputation.

If you want to win a set of these, check out their ongoing giveaway! Two full suspensions with UCAs up for grabs.
