$700 vs. $3200 Off-Road Suspension | HiLow

Hi Low is back!!! Hope yall enjoy!

**Intro sequence by @mbarek_abdel***

$700 suspension upgrade vs. $3200 off-road suspension upgrade
Does more expensive mean more better? Let’s find out!

We bought two identical Toyota Tacomas, and we’re modifying them to be fun, daily drivers that you can take literally anywhere, except the ocean.

One Taco gets expensive parts, and one gets cheap parts. Then we test them, to see which components are worth spending your hard-earned money on.

Upgrading your suspension with new, longer travel springs and shocks can improve your truck’s ground clearance, ride quality, and ability to keep all 4 tires in touch with the ground while driving over uneven terrain.

Today, Hi Truck is getting an ICON Stage 4 Suspension System including front coil overs and rear shocks --both with external reservoirs-- a pair of add-a-leafs, and upper control arms all for $3200.

And Low Truck is getting a Bilstein 3” lift kit which comes with springs, shocks, and an add-a-leaf kit. Our suspension upgrade costs $700-- less than a fourth of the cost of Hi Team’s kit.

It's hard to explain the feeling when you wish something existed, and then a few weeks later, you find donut media has made exactly that thing. Thank you ❤❤

Low team: "don't tell Zach that we 'over jacked' his hood"

“What do I do?!”
“…Cop to it.”
“Talk to it…?”
“COP to it.”
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS”

perfect example of how polar opposite Nolan and Aaron are from each other, and also how sweet and pure Nolan’s heart is 😌🥺

Maybe nolan does the hi car next season? He looks really jelly everytime james pull out parts for his hi car.

[jaycohbee]

Having a stock Tacoma on the side is actually pretty genius. It gives us more of a sense of how much the HiLo trucks actually improved over time especially after you add even more stuff to them.

[mcglubbinfishworth]

Damn really wanted to see them switch teams. Would’ve found it hilarious trying to see James hype up some of these low parts.

[subradiant_music]

How does a company like donut media not have a built-on wall spring compressor is beyond me lol

[ScaredOfMonster]

shocking to see Bilstein at the "low price". They're actually a really high quality shock manufacturer in germany.

Zach is a brave man standing next to a truck that James is driving

Music to my ears

[danielorlov]

21:12 really gotta extend that rear brake line, very common for them to tear after a lift

[trucksandheavymetal]

7:49 True, a body lift doesn't give you anymore suspension travel or ground clearance for the frame. However, a body lift does give the body more ground clearance so it is less likely to get hung up on obstacles. Body lifts also allow for larger tires and we all know the benefits of larger tires.

[mikeoleksa]

Jobe and Pumphrey really should be working on the "Low" vehcle this time around. Just my 2 cents.

[Nigglenuts]

It’s crazy how this channel alone is creating new generations of car lovers

[jaedanb]

I feel like this was peak hi-low. Like its more refined than the Z series and its so concise and fun. Idk what it is about the newer ones, and I love wrx's, but it's not the same.

[itsphloo]

Excited for the new season! Older tacos are a really fun choice. The challenges in this were a good watch - it'd be interesting to see concrete numbers for each truck like measurements on an articulation ramp and calculations for the various angles.

Bruh Nolan deserves the hi truck after all the pain he’s gone through with low car ;(

[jasonpolmateer]

If you guys aren’t hollering “Giver the beans!” while wearing camo donut hats on off roaring trips by the end of this series it won’t be a Hi Low on lifted trucks 😂

[halfpeltalt]

Zach: "FORWARD!!!"
James: "hehehehe"

[RedFoxRR]

OK, can I just say this channel extremely fuckin rocks. You guys kill it with the produciton. Everything down to the lighting, sound design, music, drone footage and spicy B roll, editing, and of course teaching people how to have fun working on project cars with budget and expensive parts to reach a common goal. Killer work to all you guys at Donut Media. Im now a fan.
