While the stock suspensions may be fine for any level of driving, an upgrade with after market performance suspension definitely have a big difference onroad or offroad. I had my suspension upgraded a month ago. I got the BP-51 from OME/ARB fixed by Arctic trucks. I am loving the feel of ride each time i drive whether road or desert.
I did some research before deciding where and what to fix. However, i cant compare performance with other brands as i haven't tried them. But price wise as per my fact finding - BP51, Fox 2.5 DSC, ICON Stage 3 will cost you almost same. Icon stage 3 is not adjustable. Fox DSC adjustments can be done easily. BP51 adjustment is done by a ring like key which requires you to go underneath the car for the rear wheels.
For the garage, I went to TORC for Fox (great team there), went to best line for ICON (same comment as Futureshock), Arctic trucks for BP-51 (they know what they are doing, I'm very happy with the team there). Mebar has very high reputation but i didn't go there as their work is so expensive from what i heard.
