Pro Comp
The biggest surprise during this program had to come from the Pro Comp truck. They have been known for always having some of the most competitively priced kits in the industry, and sometimes we equate the "competitive pricing" label to the average performer tag. But the Pro Comp kit shocked us. The simple no-nonsense approach mixed with dual remote-reservoir MX6 adjustable shocks made this truck perform on the highway, in the dirt, and in the sand. Speaking of in the sand, the Pro Comp truck was a wonder out there once the shocks got dialed in, but unfortunately not all testers were able to experience that. The rear shocks were a bit out of adjustment until the later part of the day, and only a few of us got to experience how well that truck could work in the sand. The Pro Comp kit was also one of the only kits that kept the tires from rubbing in extreme compression instances in the sand dunes.
