n this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, I’m on location at UTV Takeover in Coos Bay, Oregon with special guest, Ned Ellsworth and Jeep Porter of MTS Off-Road Suspension Tuning! We’ve wanted to have them on the show for a long time now and we finally tracked them down, pulled them away from tuning shocks, and had a great conversation. We dive into what suspension tuning really is, what makes the biggest difference, how to approach tuning, if/how technology progression changes shock tuning, and so much more!
