Over raging rivers and rocky mountains, through snow banks, mud pits, or rugged terrain—owning a four-wheeler is all about going off into the wild blue yonder. But in order to reach such uncharted territory, you gotta have some kickin' chassis and suspension capabilities.

For a serious off-roading enthusiast, the first step in getting the ultimate suspension setup is to turn to Four Wheeler magazine. For 40 years, the magazine has covered all the latest and greatest in suspension and chassis information, giving readers everything from simple tips in upgrading their 4x4's ground clearance and articulation to theory-based information on steering and braking. This handbook is a compilation of articles from the magazine, with project profiles of the most popular off-road trucks and performance reviews of available lift kits, aftermarket additions, and brake conversions. Plow through it and you'll be ready for your own off-road adventure.
