How is the ride compared to stock?

Honestly a little bit more bumpy and a little bit more noisy. Both are marginal though.

With the extended lowers you can't even tell a difference. The ride is very smooth.

Both. The grass/mud etc is great to play in, given you have the right tires you can do quite a bit. The street is great with a nice pair of street tires and will grip so tight you'll flip before you slide. Takes a little practice but I can beat almost any car on my street, and with headlights/taillights (so I can tell direction at night from a distance) and 2 lipo batteries, this thing will zoom along at 70+mph. Hours of fun, but I've now spent almost 1600 on my car ... and it's almost all aluminum so the original parts left over can almost build a 2nd plastic. Lol

The drop through is better for cruising but the drop deck is awesome for downhilling!!

The ride feels the same as stock. If you just add this lift and no additional lift you will not need to add anything else. I added 245/75/16 tires work great no rub and still fit in well for spare.

It a little mor firm than usual, but not enough to be unhappy with the ride. I drive mostly in the city, but the handle great off-road as well.

Actually it's a blast on the dirt, it's rear wheel drive so you can't just floor it all the time, but the tires (at least the ones I got) were half decent compared to most other stock tires.

Yes the ride is smooth. I did have to secure the rubber tips with gorilla glue to keep them in place when pedaling on carpet, but overall there were no problems with the equipment.

It does better than stock without a doubt. You won't regret your purchase IMO. The color is much whiter than stock lights.

Its not much louder than stock. It's got a deeper tone that I enjoy. But I wouldn't call it loud.

Yes, the shocks are adjustable, the springs can be changed to something softer or even shorter and the shock oil weight can be changed. The stock setup is pretty good for rough terrain/gravel. If you want to race on a smooth street you might get some benefit from lowering it. But get sway bars, too.

My 4 years old has a blast with it. It is pretty fast. Battery last for about 20 minuts on one charge. I cannot say how good it is offroad as we never try it.

In short, yes. I paired mine with Tokiko Blues and the setup/ride height was great. There was still the stiff bounce of a sleeve setup. Not too bad on the highway, but the back roads could be harsh. I switched to F&F; coilovers after a few months.

I favor the Elite Rayven over the Stockade. Performance is similar, but the Rayven is quicker to reload.

You cant even tell the difference it rides the same, the only thing it sit higher then stock for a while then the springs settle in and it will drop to its regular hight. The installation takes about 2-3hrs depending on your tools.

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

It's definitely louder than stock, but it's not outrageous. It has a great secondary report, especially if you have a standard transmission. I love mine :)

Yes. If suspension is stock no problem. Any issue I will quickly resolve though
