Understanding the Flatout Suspension Lineup
We receive a lot of questions about the different suspension models we offer. While we have a detailed tech article that dives deep into the GR series, here’s a clear overview of each model and what makes it unique.
Flatout TR – Trail Runner
Our newest addition to the lineup, the Trail Runner is designed for drivers who want a lift without going to a fully adjustable coilover system.

Retains OEM ride quality and comfort
-
Uses OEM-spec springs and top mounts for a stealthy, factory-like appearance
-
Compatible with any OEM-style spring and allows the addition of strut spacers for extra height
-
Unique feature: adjustable compression damping — something most competitors don’t offer.
- Can not be customized
Ideal for: daily drivers who want a mild lift and stock-like refinement.
Flatout GR Lite – Entry-Level Off-Road
Our most approachable off-road coilover.
