Shock Surplus links up with Dan Worley, the owner of SDI, for a factory tour and a deep dive into how they're changing the game in the shock absorber world with their EClik shocks.
EClik Active Suspension is a shock system that allows a massive range of manual adjustment, or automatic adaption to various terrains, speeds, and vehicle loadouts.

You can have ultra tight handling onroad and mountain highways where stability and composure is key for safety, while still maintaining comfort. That same system then adapts to hitting the dirt, whether providing comfort on the rocky mountain trails, or giving significant damping improvement in high speed rugged environments to keep the vehicle planted.
Some popular shock designs have to sacrifice road handling for high speed offroad performance. Or those that prioritize road handling have to sacrifice offroad damping, comfort, or both. The SDI Active Suspension adapts to exactly what you want, on all 4 corners.
Popular Scenario Adaptions
Sand Wash / Rugged Desert Terrain - When the terrain starts getting choppy, the valving opens up (softens) on individual corners according to compression input to keep the vehicle level, then stiffens immediately on the rebound stroke to absorb the terrain.
Mountain / Rock Climbs - The front shocks will soften up to grab as much terrain as possible, while the rear shocks stiffen up to keep the tires planted and prevent squatting under the load of the vehicle.
Rock / Hill Descents - In the opposite scenario, the front shocks stiffen up to maintain control and prevent dive, while the rear shocks soften up to help prevent forward shifting of weight. The front shocks can also sense when the tires are coming off an obstacle and drooping down to the next piece of terrain, and adapts in real time.
On-Road - Admit it, most people are daily driving their adventure rigs, and 95% of their miles are on pavement. The ECLIK system can also improve the daily drive through maintaining composure, and can be set to handle like a sports car with heavy sway bars. Or you can go full soft for maximum comfort, while also maintaining handling ability, which is sometimes the tradeoff when you want ultra soft shocks.
Overlanding - When (over)loaded with gear and inadequate suspension, the vehicle gets really mushy, lots of sway, dive, squat, all issues that not only compromise handling but also safety. Even the top shock brands can succumb to this without a proper tune. Forget about having fun in the dirt, the shocks cant handle it. With the SDI in-cab controller, you can easily adjust rear loadout to stiffen up the rear shocks to handle the extra load, while maintaining front end comfort and compliance. The system also automatically adjusts for roll and pitch offroad on mountainous terrain, and can also eat up moderate whoops and rugged terrain in higher speed environments.
