Colorado Trail Suspension Questions

Straight answers from a shop that actually runs these trails.

What suspension is best for high-alpine Colorado trails?
For alpine terrain above 11,000 feet — talus, loose shale, steep switchbacks — a 4 to 6 inch suspension lift with quality coilovers is ideal. Fox or King coilovers with extended travel are what we run on our own rigs.
What setup works for daily driving plus weekend trail runs?
A 3 to 4 inch suspension lift with quality shocks and 33 to 35 inch all-terrain tires is the sweet spot. It handles Moab and I-25 without compromise.
Do I need lockers for Colorado trails?
For most of what Coloradans run, lockers are not required but are a major confidence booster. For serious terrain like Imogene Pass and Black Bear Road, a rear locker makes a significant difference.
What are the most common suspension failures on the trail?
Blown shocks, worn ball joints, and failed CV axles from running without UCAs on IFS trucks. We build to prevent exactly these issues — no exceptions.
