G.O.A.T Offroad X Carbon Shock 3.0 Replacement Coilover Package

[nedmo]

Ned from G.O.A.T Offroad here!

Last week we fitted Australia’s first full shock replacement package for the Next-Gen Ranger Raptor — designed right here by us, built by @carbon_shocks in the US.

Here’s the big deal: the factory Raptor “2.5s” might look decent from the outside, but because of their internal bypass design, the actual piston is much smaller than a true 2.5. So jumping to these 3.0-inch Carbons isn’t just a mild upgrade — it’s a huge leap in oil capacity, cooling, and damping control. The difference in composure and performance is unreal.

They run 12-inch remote reservoirs with high and low-speed compression adjusters, adjustable preload to dial in your exact ride height, and the best part — we use Eibach springs that can be tailored in 50 lb/in increments to match whatever load you carry. Daily driver, touring rig, or full send — it’s built for you.

And yes, we’ve developed a plug-in module that keeps all the Raptor drive modes working, even without the live valves. Fully bolt-in, no compromise, no dash lights

This is just a sneak peek — proper testing and tuning still to come.

Once again, gonna be sending you my cash @nedmo

Curious about the module. Does it replicate an OEM live valve shock and the truck keeps making shock adjustments that just don't result in anything? Suspecting that keeps the RR out of lights and fault codes.

Yes and it also has other benefits. If any of the sensors left on the vehicle were damaged, it would prevent the car from going into any error modes too.

Any idea on release timeline?

Very soon. The best news is they will be available directly from Carbon Shocks, so no need to pay tarrifs.

Looks inexpensive.

Do these sit at factory ride height? or end up lifting the truck? Upper control arm upgrades required? Any other supporting mods suggested?

So our goal was to maximise droop and move the travel zone down, to allow for clearance at full compression for larger tyres. This means that if you run less than 2in of lift, you will be closer to bump stop at ride height, which will make the ride not as plush as running 2-3in of lift.

Due to the longer extended length, you will need all of our supporting mods. UCA, clevis steering kit and a diff drop.

What is the diff drop?

What is the diff drop?

Front axle differential gets lowered to reduce half-shaft axle joint angles. It's an IFS thing.

I don't see the diff drop parts on the goat website

Should be some simple blocks, but maybe a diff drop hasn't happened yet.

There's a lot going on when there's talk of up/down travel, bump stops, springs and spring rates, CV angles, spring preload, hi/lo speed compression adjustment, rebound dampening adjustment, and not yet mentioned are long-arms etc. There are details we should know of our RR suspension before jumping on upgrades like what is the OEM f/r shock travel, what are the OEM spring rates, what does a 50lb spring rate increase do for lift on OEM suspension, etc. Without these details, how does one select aftermarket suspension parts to achieve what the RR owner is after? I see this in the m/c world too and not a fan of someone else telling me what I want/need for suspension performance.

Anyway, diff drop parts as seen for the Tacoma are not much in cost, but anyone who lowers the front diff ought to have a well thought-out plan of where they want to go with suspension performance.

Currently running goat off-road strut spacers.
2 in in the front and 1 in the rear. I added foutz Motorsports hydraulic bump stops in the front with limit straps. Has been working really well. I do a lot of off-roading and have been driving the truck hard. Airborne with full droop and full compression on landing. So far working really good. If you want to get any more serious, you're going to need to put a bypass shock next to the coilover or do something like being discussed here. I really like the plush ride though at low speeds with the live valve shocks.
