Close up of single Strange Engineering's high-performance coilover
1. Strange Engineering High-Performance Coilovers
Strange Engineering has been the leader in driveline and suspension for over 50 years. Strange Engineering aluminum coilover shocks are built with proven technology that has been relied on by racers for years. Now that same technology can be applied to your truck. The lightweight, aluminum construction makes tuning the suspension easy by locating the adjuster knob(s) at the bottom of the shock body. The wide range of valving allows each shock to be adjusted to changing track conditions quickly and easily. Available in both single- and double-adjustable configurations, these shocks can also be customized to specific lengths, strokes, and valving by Strange’s talented staff on their in-house shock dyno. The S1413 spanner wrench is the perfect complement for the shocks, allowing you to make spring adjustments and replacement quickly and easily.

Two types of Summit Racing's spray on premium urethane bedliner and applicator
4. Summit Racing’s Spray-On Premium Urethane Bedliner
Everyone knows that when you haul cargo in your pickup’s bed, the factory painted finish is going to look really lousy in short order. Worse, all those scratches and scrapes will expose the bare metal underneath, creating a breeding ground for rust. If left unprotected, the bed will eventually rust through, necessitating either replacement or extensive metal repair work. You can restore and protect your bed from rust and wear damage with Summit Racing’s Premium Spray-On Bedliner. This durable, two-component urethane coating provides a textured satin finish that makes any bed surface look brand new. The bedliner is also ideal for coating floorpans and trunk interiors. Testing shows Summit’s Spray-On Premium Urethane Bedliner outperforms the current market leader in impact resistance and durability and has excellent chemical and UV resistance to prevent fading. Application is straightforward. After cleaning and sanding the surface, add 8 fluid ounces of activator to one bottle of Bedliner and shake for 2-3 minutes. Connect the included applicator gun to a compressed air source and spray one coat of Bedliner; after about 5 minutes of flash time, apply a second coat. The Bedliner will dry to the touch in about an hour and will be ready for light use in 48 hours and regular duty in five days. Summit Racing Premium Spray-On Bedliner comes with approximately 20 percent more Bedliner material than competitor’s kits—enough to coat an entire 8-foot truck bed. That’s big value for your money.
