Buckstop E-RIDE – Electronic Ride Control
BRUSHTRUCK, MOTORCOACH, WORK TRUCK, ADVENTURE TRUCK
Buckstop brings Electronic Ride Control to the BIG truck world (F450/550/600)! Supreme ride control and handling with minimal moving parts! This bullet proof suspension is designed around extremely reliable steel springs enhanced with a layer of intelligence to provide excellent handling BOTH on and offroad.
The challenge with OFFROAD SUSPENSION is to build a system that is soft enough to provide comfort and traction in rough terrain, but also stiff enough to handle high speed road travel. The challenge is even tougher with vehicle weights approaching 20,000 pounds, high centers of gravity, and large wind-capturing bodies.
Buckstop capitalizes on E-Clik Semi-Active Suspension system to provide superior handling on road, freedom to flex offroad, and safety when cross-winds are howling.
Key Features of Buckstop E-RIDE – Electronic Ride Control
WHY – Buckstop E-RIDE suspension improves handling on and off road, is safer, and calms the driving experience for driver and truck alike.
WHERE – Deep in the boonies! Self-reliance is the name of the game in Overland and Boondocking. You want a vehicle that is well protected and fully capable of getting you in and out! E-RIDE provides substantial driving enhancements without adding complex systems. If it breaks, you still drive safely and easily.
BUT REALLY, WHY? –
DRIVING IS EASIER - The onboard computer reacts to the road before the driver is even aware of the event. The driver has less to worry about because the handling of the vehicle is constantly adjusting to driving conditions.
OFF-ROAD – At low speeds, the system allows full flexibility and agility. Dampening action is minimized so that the springs have free action and axles are able to flex under the frame.
TALL VEHICLES – Vehicles with a high center of gravity or vehicles with a large side surface that are affected by wind are prone to intense swaying. Traditionally, this is handled with sway bars and overload springs. The problem is that those systems tend to make the ride stiffer in normal driving conditions and reduce flexibility offroad.
HABITATS AND HOUSES – Rough riding in the rear cabin of an RV can get pretty crazy with clothes bouncing out of the closet, the microwave falling out of the cabinet, and the obnoxious squeaking of the springs in the morning! By replacing the rear springs with custom built soft-ride progressive springs specifically built for your truck, Buckstop takes the mayhem out of your house.
HOW – E-RIDE automatically adjusts shock dampening 250 times a second reacting to ever-changing driving conditions. An on-board microprocessor interprets twelve inputs from the vehicle’s sensors utilizing the OBD2 port and its own IMU accelerometer that detects movement in all directions.
Buckstop provides custom rear leaf springs to replace universal, one-size-fits-all factory springs. Once a vehicle is built and its weight is known, we can then build springs perfectly suited to the application. Buckstop springs are more progressive and generally softer than factory.
E-RIDE suspension can be set to THREE DRVING MODES modes. With a swipe on the touch-screen, the driver changes mode and activates a different driving algorithm.
STREET – Provides more damping for a composed ride and excellent feedback to the driver. Allows for comfort for long distances, while still handling sudden jolts with ease. Reduces body roll.
OFFROAD – Makes the roughest road comfortable without sacrificing body control. Smooths out chatter, bumps and twists.
WIND – The patented wind mode converts driving your RV from an ocean storm to smooth sailing, helping keep you between the lines, sensing sudden wind gusts.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX– E-Clik PRO system with four best in class 2.5” Piggyback shock absorbers with 7/8” shafts, ECU, IMU, all wiring harnesses, and Color Touch-screen Controller with A Pillar Mount. Two custom weight-rated progressive 4” lift Rear Leaf Springs, U-bolts, and Nuts.
