The Ultimate Off-Road Build

1

Tires & Suspension

Tires & Wheels

The successor to the legendary KO2 with improved tread design, better mud self-cleaning, and full-depth 3D sipes for snow. 50,000-mile warranty with Severe Snow Service (3PMSF) rating. The gold standard for overlanding all-terrain tires.

Suspension

Only recommended for ZR2 owners who want to keep their factory DSSV shocks and add height adjustability. For most Colorado/Canyon off-road builds, the community strongly prefers Fox 2.5 DSC or King 2.5 with custom valving, both are rebuildable, tunable, and backed by companies with reliable customer service.

Note: For most builds a complete lift kit is the whole job, a 2-3 inch lift with new shocks and springs. Go past 3 inches on a Tacoma or 4Runner and you'll want upper control arms and an alignment; rear sag from towing is a separate fix with air helper springs.
