Why Tune Your Suspension?

Ever finished a day on the trail feeling beat up? Or hit a bump so hard your rear end kicked up and made your butt pucker? That’s your suspension telling you it needs tuning. Proper shock tuning can smooth out the ride, reduce fatigue, and give you way more control — exactly when you need it most.  

 A well-tuned suspension doesn't just improve comfort and confidence behind the wheel — it also:

  • Reduces harsh impacts on your drivetrain
  • Minimizes bottom-outs, extending the life of ball joints and control arms
  • Cuts down vibrations that rattle bolts loose
  • Improves traction when and where it matters most

The Desert Ride Difference

Tuning for your needs & your shock's needs

At our core, we don’t just chase performance — we engineer it with 

longevity in mind. We analyze how damping force is generated within 

the shock, and tune the shim stacks to address both your needs & 

the shock’s needs. We consider factors like:


  • Cavitation Limits
  • Direct & Effective Tune Changes
  • Shim Stress Distribution  
  • Damping Consistency & Fade Resistance
  • Crack Pressure  
  • Shock Pressure & Temperature Limits


The result? A ride that feels incredible — and a shock that 

stays healthier, longer.


Consistent Ride Feel • Great Performance • Long Lasting shock
