I am looking for feedback from anyone running the overlander suspension on a DD. how does it compare to stock or other aftermarket suspensions?
Any issues? Any additional features you now wish you had gone for?
I like what I have seen, and the ride of the Gamechanger, but don't feel I need to go that far on a DD that sees mostly backwoods trails on the weekends.
Thoughts and advice greatly appreciated.

not sure what you mean by over lander (don't want to go look it up) but I run their coils and stock arms on my rig.
Does decent, I need CA's and driveshafts though.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. The Overlander suspension looks like a step down from the GameChanger and the Dual Rate Lift Kits on the website. I have ridden in a friends JK with the GameChanger and it is very impressive on and off road, but I can't justify going that far considering mine is also my DD and I don't do any big rock crawling here. Any feedback on the Overlander system would be greatly appreciated here.
Thanks!

If you stay around 2.5-3", do you have to buy any other parts (drive shaft, muffler brackets, etc.)?

I run the lift

Hello all ,,

I run the Springs arms and Fox shocks. I love it. I believe it rides better than stock. Its a little higher than other 3 1/2 inch lifts ive seen. Maybe it'll settle in later once the winch is on.

Another question for those with six pack shocks. Honest opinion of them and what is your sway bar set up. Quick disconnect, anti rock ect. Thanks!

I run their 6 Packs and their Springs (I put the 3.5" 4 door springs on my 2 door and got about 4" of lift) I completely DISCO my front sway bar to maximize my travel. If you go with the 6 packs you can really cut down on the bump stops to MAXIMIZE your travel (I use hocky pucks so it is easy to add and remove until you get the perfect amount).

You will have to do some major cutting on the inner wheel liners and wheel flairs but the result is better flex than most coil overs and you spent a lot less money.

Good luck.
