Upgrade Your Chevy Tahoe or Suburban with Rear Adjustable Control Arms

Upgrade Your Chevy Tahoe or Suburban with Rear Adjustable Control Arms

Lifting or lowering your 1999-2019 Chevy Tahoe or Suburban? Stock rear control arms won’t cut it with bigger tires or modified suspension. At APOC Industries, our Chevy Tahoe adjustable control arms are built to keep your rig handling sharp and your driveline happy. Designed for stock to 6” lifts or 0-5” drops, these heavy-duty arms are a must-have upgrade. Check them out here and see why they’re perfect for your next build.

Why Upgrade Your Rear Control Arms?

Factory control arms work fine with stock setups, but once you lift your Tahoe or Suburban—or drop it for that slammed look—they can’t keep up. Bigger tires and suspension changes mess with your pinion angle, leading to axle wrap, driveline vibes, or even U-joint failure. Our Suburban rear suspension upgrade fixes that by letting you adjust the rear trailing arms to match your setup, keeping geometry spot-on and traction solid.

What Makes APOC’s Control Arms Stand Out?

At APOC Industries, we’ve sourced these aftermarket control arms for lifted trucks to handle the toughest jobs. Here’s what you get:

Heavy-Duty Build: DOM tubing and thick-wall construction outlast weak stamped steel factory arms.
Fully Adjustable: Fits 1999-2019 Chevy Tahoe/Suburban, adjustable from stock to 6” lifts or 0-5” drops.
Top-Notch Bushings: Polyurethane bushings with grease fittings for long life and smooth operation.
Easy Fit: Uses factory hardware, no cutting needed—just bolt on or weld for permanence.

Whether you’re towing, off-roading, or cruising, these arms keep your rear end centered and vibe-free.

Perfect Fit for 1999-2019 Models

Our adjustable control arms are tailored for the 1999-2019 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, covering a 20-year span of these iconic SUVs. They’re ideal for:

Lifted Rigs: Up to 6” lifts—pair with our FOX shocks for max performance.
Lowered Builds: 0-5” drops, centering the rear axle for that clean stance.

Real Tahoe owners say they’ve cut driveline noise by up to 80% after swapping to these—proof they deliver.

How to Install Your APOC Control Arms

Swapping in these arms is a straightforward DIY job. Here’s the quick guide:

Gear Up: You’ll need a jack, stands, and basic hand tools.
Lift & Prep: Raise the rear, support the axle, and remove the old arms.
Install New Arms: Bolt the upper and lower arms in place—adjust length to match your lift or drop.
Tighten & Check: Torque to spec, grease the bushings, and get an alignment.

Takes about 3-4 hours. Pro tip: Set the length per your lift kit’s specs (check with the manufacturer if unsure).

Why Trust APOC Industries?

We’re not just selling parts—we’re truck enthusiasts who’ve been in the aftermarket game for years. APOC Industries picks products like these Chevy Tahoe adjustable control arms for their quality and real-world results. We cut out the fluff to bring you durable upgrades at prices that make sense.

Leveling Kits 101: Lift Your Ford F-250 Super Duty the Right Way

Leveling Kits 101: Lift Your Ford F-250 Super Duty the Right Way

Want a tougher look for your Ford F-250 Super Duty without dropping big bucks on a full lift? At APOC Industries, we’ve got you covered with our Ford F-250 leveling kits—the perfect way to add height, clear bigger tires, and boost your truck’s attitude. As a trusted retailer of aftermarket automotive parts, we know what Super Duty owners need for work, play, or both. Check out our leveling kits here and learn how to lift your F-250 the smart way.

What’s a Leveling Kit and Why Get One?

A leveling kit lifts the front of your Ford F-250 Super Duty by 1.5 to 2 inches, evening out the factory rake—where the rear sits higher than the front. Unlike a full Super Duty lift kit, which can add 4-6” or more, leveling kits are simpler, cheaper, and keep your truck’s ride closer to stock. Why bother? That extra front-end height lets you fit bigger tires (think 35s), improves your approach angle for off-road trails, and gives your F-250 a meaner stance. It’s a quick win for towing, hauling, or just looking good.

Why Level Your Ford F-250 Super Duty?

Super Duty trucks are built tough, but the stock setup isn’t perfect for every job. Here’s why APOC’s leveling kits make sense:

Bigger Tires: Clear 35” tires without rubbing—great for off-road grip or highway style.
Better Angles: Boost your approach angle for steep inclines or rocky paths.
Improved Looks: Ditch the nose-down rake for a level, aggressive profile.
Towing Stability: Even weight distribution helps when pulling heavy loads.

Our customers report a noticeable difference in stance and clearance after just a 2-hour install—real feedback from real F-250 owners.

Features of APOC’s Leveling Kits

At APOC Industries, we source leveling kits built to last. Designed for the 2017-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD, here’s what you get:

Durable Spacers: CNC-machined aluminum or steel (depending on kit) to handle Super Duty weight.
Perfect Fit: Tailored for 2-3” front lifts, no guesswork needed.
Easy Bolt-On: Installs with your factory shocks— or upgrade to Fox Shocks

These kits are tough enough for daily drivers and weekend warriors alike, backed by our years of aftermarket expertise.

Install Tips for Your F-250 Leveling Kit

Putting on a leveling kit is a DIY job you can knock out in your garage. Here’s the rundown:

Gear Up: Grab a jack, stands, and basic wrenches—maybe a spring compressor if your kit needs it.
Lift & Remove: Jack up the front, pull the wheels, and loosen the strut bolts.
Add the Spacer: Slide the spacer above or below the strut (per kit instructions), then reassemble.
Check Alignment: Torque everything down and get an alignment to keep steering tight.

Total time? About 2 hours. For best results, pair with our adjustable control arms to fix caster angles—especially if you’re pushing past 2”.

Why Choose APOC Industries?

We’re not here to overhype—we’re here to deliver. APOC Industries has spent years curating aftermarket parts that work, like our Ford F-250 leveling kits. We skip the middleman to keep prices fair and quality high. Want proof? Our kits fit the 2017-2022 F-250 Super Duty like a glove, and we’ve got the know-how to back it up. Learn more about us here.

Take Your Ride Further with FOX Shocks from APOC Industries

Want to get more out of your truck or SUV? At APOC Industries, we’re a go-to retailer for aftermarket automotive parts, and our Shocks Collection features the renowned FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks—loved by racers and off-roaders for their top-notch design and toughness. We carry FOX shocks because they bring racing-grade performance to everyday drivers, handling everything from city streets to rugged trails. Check out the full lineup here and see why they’re a smart upgrade for your rig.

What Sets FOX Shocks Apart?

FOX shocks, part of our collection, go beyond basic suspension. With 50 years of racing know-how, FOX builds shocks that blend performance and affordability. The 2.0 Performance Series IFP shocks we stock have a Type III anodized aluminum body to shed heat, a monotube setup honed on race tracks, and a gas-pressurized Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that keeps oil and nitrogen separate to stop cavitation. That means consistent, fade-free damping—whether you’re dodging potholes or crawling over rocks.

How FOX Shocks Improve Your Truck

Factory shocks struggle with lifted trucks or oversized tires, but FOX 2.0 shocks—available at APOC—handle it all. Their big-diameter build and Hydraulic Top Out (HTO) tech soften hard landings, cutting that jarring “thud” after jumps or dips. Designed for brutal off-road use, they offer tight damping control and long-lasting strength. Hitting a bumpy stretch? The shocks’ progressive force stops bottom-outs while still soaking up small jolts. Drivers tell us they’ve seen handling improve by up to 30% on rough roads, based on real feedback.

Top FOX Shocks in Our Collection

Our Shocks Collection brings FOX’s best to your truck:

1994-2013 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD Front FOX 2.0 Shocks: Great for leveled or lifted Rams, these monotube shocks reduce bounce and tighten steering—perfect for towing or off-road runs.
2015-2023 Ford F-150 4WD Rear FOX 2.0 Shocks: Made for F-150s with up to 2” lifts, they balance a comfy ride with hardcore durability.

Why We Stock FOX at APOC Industries

We don’t build FOX shocks—FOX Factory does, with decades of suspension expertise—but we sell them because they’re a gold standard. At APOC, we’ve spent years in the aftermarket world, and we know FOX’s reputation delivers. Their 2.0 Performance Series shocks are a breeze to bolt on—no reservoirs or fiddly adjusters—and offer serious bang for your buck. Curious about FOX’s roots? Check out ridefox.com. We’re here to bring that quality to you without the markup.

Why Upgrade with APOC’s FOX Shocks?

Here’s what FOX shocks from our collection do for you:

Better Control: Sharp damping keeps tires on the ground, improving safety and grip.
Tough Build: Aluminum bodies and race-ready parts stand up to harsh conditions.
Smoother Ride: HTO tech and monotube design iron out bumps, from highways to trails.

Unlike generic shocks, FOX keeps it simple yet high-performing—no fancy extras needed.

Get Your Truck Rolling Right

Ready for a ride that grips better and lasts longer? Hit up our FOX Shocks Collection and pick the right set for your truck or SUV. They install in 1-2 hours with basic tools—pair them with our ladder bars for a full suspension boost. Got questions? Drop us a line—we’re here to keep you moving strong.

Ladder Bars for Trucks | APOC Industries

2025-04-08T09:58:43-04:00

Master Traction with Ladder Bars from APOC Industries

Struggling with wheel hop or losing traction on your lifted truck? At APOC Industries, we’re a trusted retailer of aftermarket automotive parts, and our Ladder Traction Bars Collection is here to solve that. Known as ladder bars or traction bars, these heavy-duty upgrades brace your rear axle to your frame, preventing axle wrap and boosting traction—perfect for towing, hard acceleration, or off-road adventures. Browse the full lineup here and see how they can power up your Dodge, Ford, or Chevy.

What Are Ladder Bars?

Ladder bars, also called traction bars, are long, sturdy bars—typically two per kit—that connect your truck’s rear axle to its frame, forming a triangular shape. Unlike lighter-duty traction bars, ladder bars are built for serious stability, often welded in place for maximum strength. At APOC, our collection offers adjustable options in raw steel, letting you customize the finish while tackling tough jobs.

How Ladder Bars Work

Under heavy acceleration or towing, your engine’s torque can twist the rear axle—a problem called axle wrap. This twists your leaf springs, cuts tire contact with the ground, and wastes power. Ladder bars resist that torque by locking the axle in place, channeling all that force straight into your tires. The result? Maximum traction, whether you’re hauling a trailer or launching off the line. Our bars are adjustable for lifts up to 12” and bolt on easily—though welding’s an option for a rock-solid setup.

Why Use Ladder Bars on Your Truck?

Ladder bars tackle three big issues for truck owners:

Prevent Axle Wrap: During hard acceleration or braking, axle wrap twists your springs and kills traction. Ladder bars hold the axle steady, keeping your suspension in line.
Boost Traction: With the axle locked down, your tires stay planted, delivering consistent grip on pavement, gravel, or mud.
Stop Wheel Hop: Axle wrap can make wheels bounce under power or braking. Ladder bars eliminate that hop for a smoother, safer ride.

Real-world tests show ladder bars can slash driveline vibration by up to 80%, making them a go-to for performance builds.

Top Picks from Our Collection

Our Ladder Traction Bars Collection fits a range of trucks. Here are two highlights:

2003-2013 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Ladder Bars: 72” long and adjustable, these bars stop axle wrap on lifted Rams—ideal for towing or high-torque setups.
2017-2022 Ford Super Duty F-250 Boxed Ladder Bars: CNC-cut at 82”, these raw steel bars add stability and style to your F-250.

Benefits of Choosing APOC Ladder Bars

Our ladder bars don’t just stabilize—they elevate your truck’s performance:

Better Traction & Handling: No more wheel hop or lost grip—drive with confidence.
Maximized Power: Get every ounce of torque to the wheels, not wasted in axle twist.
Less Vibration: A steady axle means a smoother ride and less wear on your driveline.

While traction bars are lighter-duty, our ladder bars are the heavy-hitters—perfect for serious truck builds.

Why Shop with APOC Industries?

We’re not the manufacturers, but we’re experts at sourcing the best aftermarket parts. With years in the game, APOC Industries picks ladder bars that deliver durability and value. Our team knows trucks, and we’re here to help you find the right fit—without the inflated prices.

Take Control of Your Ride

Ready to ditch axle wrap and dominate the road? Check out our Ladder Traction Bars Collection and grab the perfect set for your truck. Install takes 2-3 hours with basic tools (wrench, jack, drill)—weld if you want it permanent. Pair with our shocks for a full upgrade. Got questions? Reach out—we’ve got your back.

Upgrade Your Ride with APOC Industries’ Adjustable Control Arms

2025-04-08T09:30:48-04:00

Upgrade Your Ride with APOC Industries’ Adjustable Control Arms

If you’re an automotive enthusiast or a daily driver looking to level up your vehicle’s performance, APOC Industries has you covered. As a trusted manufacturer and retailer of aftermarket automotive parts, we’re proud to offer our Adjustable Control Arms Collection—a lineup built to enhance handling, durability, and ride quality for lifted trucks, SUVs, and off-road rigs. Check out the full collection here and see why our control arms are a must-have upgrade.

Why Adjustable Control Arms Matter

When you lift your vehicle—whether it’s a Dodge Ram, Jeep Wrangler, or Toyota 4Runner—factory control arms often can’t keep up. Bigger tires and increased ride height shift caster and pinion angles, leading to shaky steering, driveline vibrations, or even premature wear on your U-joints. That’s where APOC’s adjustable control arms come in. Designed to fit lifts from stock height to 6 inches, our arms let you dial in the perfect geometry for your setup, ensuring your ride stays smooth, safe, and reliable.

What Sets APOC Control Arms Apart

At APOC Industries, we don’t just sell parts—we engineer them. Our adjustable control arms are crafted with heavy-duty DOM tubing, top-quality polyurethane bushings, and grease fittings for long-lasting performance. Whether you’re tackling rugged trails or cruising the highway, here’s what you get:

Full Adjustability: From stock to 6” lifts, tweak the length to match your lift kit and maintain factory-like handling.
Strength You Can Trust: Built to handle the strain of big tires and aggressive lifts without bending or breaking.
Precision Fitment: Vehicle-specific designs for models like the Dodge Ram 2500, Chevy Tahoe, and Toyota Sequoia—because one size doesn’t fit all.

Top Picks from the Collection

Our Adjustable Control Arms Collection features options for a wide range of makes and models. Here are a couple of standouts:

Dodge Ram 2003-2007 Adjustable Control Arms: Perfect for 4WD Rams with up to 6” of lift, these arms restore caster angles and keep your steering tight—ideal for heavy-duty haulers or weekend warriors.
Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 Front Control Arms: Built for off-roaders, these adjustable arms maintain suspension geometry, so you can conquer trails without compromising control.

Why Choose APOC Industries?

As an aftermarket parts manufacturer and retailer, we cut out the middleman to deliver premium quality at prices that won’t break the bank. Every control arm in our collection is designed with real-world drivers in mind—people who demand performance without sacrificing reliability. Plus, with easy bolt-on installation and clear instructions, you can upgrade your ride in just a few hours with basic tools.

Classic Bronco LED light bar mounts

2016-06-16T17:22:00-04:00

MAKING HISTORY WITH LED LIGHT MOUNTS FOR EARLY BRONCOS
The iconic Ford Bronco has been considered a classic for many years and continues to be just as popular today with its cult-like status among four-wheel drive and car collector enthusiasts alike. What makes this car so special to its fans? Let’s take a look at its early history to find out.

The Bronco was initially created in 1965 to serve as competition to Jeep’s CJ5 and International Harvester’s Scout. It was an innovative move, creating a completely new product line for Ford Motor Company and was built on its own unique platform. This included its own frame, suspension, and body designs that were not used with any other vehicle they made. The early designs of the Bronco were focused on keeping it simple and affordable in order to compete in with the Jeep and IH model prices on the market. The first generation of Ford Broncos that were produced from 1966-1977 had a small form factor and short wheelbase of 92 inches making it the perfect companion for epic off-road adventures. The axles and brakes were taken from the Ford F100 4×4 trucks. However, the difference was that the front axle was mounted using radius arms that went from the frame near the transmission forward to the axle housing and a lateral tracking bar to center the housing under the frame. This permitted the use of coil springs giving the Bronco a 34 foot turning radius, longer wheel travel and an anti-dive geometry.

The 66-77 Ford Bronco’s inimitable style and ground breaking off-road performance led it to become a cult classic with a very dedicated following. This was solidified when racecar builder Bill Stroppe used it in long-distance off-road competitions, ultimately making it an American icon. During the late 60’s and early 70’s, Stroppe’s off-road team who all used the classic Broncos ruled at offroad events such as the Mint 400, Baja 500 and Baja 1000 races. In 1971, Ford used this popularity and offered Bill Stroppe’s “Baja Bronco” design, which offered automatic transmission, quick-ratio power steering, fender flares, a roll bar, Gates Commando tires, reinforced bumpers, a padded steering wheel, and custom red, white, blue & black paint. All of these features, however, came with a price tag of $5,566 vs. the standard V8 Bronco price of $3,665. This caused only 650 Baja Broncos to be sold over the next four years. Interestingly, the limited sales made the Baja Bronco a rare gem to find, and is a very popular collector model to this day.

Broncos have successfully kept up with other competitors over the years by making innovative improvements within their system. Initially, all early Broncos used a 4 wheel drive and came with a Dana Corporation Model 20 transfer case and manual locking hubs. From 1966-1971, the Bronco donned a Dana 30 differential. However, in late 1971, Ford changed this over to offer the much stronger Dana 44 model front end standard. The initial models of early Bronco came with either a 170 ci Six-cylinder engine or a 289 ci V8 engine. Always a competitor, Ford Motor Company changed from the 289 engine over to a 302 V8 to compete with Chevrolet’s new Blazer model which featured a 350 ci V8 engine in 1969. In 1973, Ford also raised the displacement of the Bronco’s 6-cylinder option from 170 ci to 200 ci. Additionally in 1973, Ford added options for factory power steering and automatic transmissions which greatly increased sales. In 1976 & 1977, the last two years of the early Bronco, Ford began to offer front disc brakes as standard equipment on the Bronco and offered vacuum assisted power brakes as an option.

APOC CREATES THE FIRST LED LIGHT MOUNT FOR CLASSIC BRONCOS
Over the years, the Bronco has successfully remained in the playing field among its competitors. Innovating and updating features to ensure that Bronco fans are always receiving the quality and inventive features the Bronco is historically known for. Although the Bronco is a great classic vehicle to use in off road adventures, all the greats need a sidekick. Until now, Bronco owners may have had issues finding light mounts that fit it perfectly. Apoc Industries is always thinking of how they can improve their customer’s adventurous quests, and have finally come up with a Brow Mount for classic Bronco enthusiasts to take along on their ride! Apoc has spent many hours in R&D to insure a easy to install, no drilling, and tough enough for Bronco drivers to proudly use. The mounts fit between the windshield frame and hard top or bikini top, so you don’t have to worry about which top you can use, all will work with our mounts. Apoc's top quality Bronco mount is made out of mild steel that is laser cut, pressure bent, and powder coated. Now you and your beloved Bronco can take your off road adventures to the next level. Happy epic riding!

All of our mounts have upgraded powder coating that will not fade. The higher-grade, UV Stable on our new powder coating has been tested and ranked higher with salt-spray tests and more durability for harsh environments.

Our Dodge Ram LED Light Bar Mounts offer a quick and painless install. With some basic tools and silicone for waterproofing you can have your light bar mounted in about 30 minutes. For a step by step installation guide watch the video below:

INSTALLING A LED LIGHT BAR ROOF MOUNT ON A 2ND GENERATION DODGE RAM
Our kits include 6 rivnuts, 6 stainless steel allen head bolts and some simple instructions. The first thing you want to do is to put the mounts on your light bar and do a test fit to double check the placement of the mounts. You want to make sure that the light does not interfere with your wipers. You do not want to leave this step out. It's easier if you have a friend helping you on the other side.

Once you have the light bar in the right place, mark the holes with a sharpie then center punch them and gradually work your way up with drill bits until you get to a 3/8" bit. Thread the rivnuts into the install tool and apply silicone in and around the hole before placing them in the hole. Hold the nut with a 13mm wrench and tighten the bolt down with a 13mm socket. Don't tighten too tight!

Apply more silicone and then attach the mounts!

A Maryville TN Business Shakes Up The Off-Road Lights Industry With A New Universal Mount

2015-05-08T17:23:00-04:00

PRESS RELEASE - NOV 25, 2014

A small East Tennessee start-up business is making waves in the off-road lights industry with high-end, patented LED light bars with IP 68 ratings & nearly indestructible designs. Their patented 3D optics offer tight spots and floods with high-lumens

Maryville, TN, November 25, 2014 (Newswire) -Apoc Industries in Maryville TN started out offering custom, high-end, and affordable LED light bars for trucks, Jeeps, and ATV’s and is once again pushing the envelope in design and engineering of off-road lights with their new universal mount. Before Josh Smith envisioned what Apoc is today he owned Smith Customs, a 10 year old customizing, fabricating, and powder-coating business for the off-road world. Smith Customs began prototyping and testing LED light bars 3 years ago. Josh Smith, co-owner of Apoc Industries, saw a large gap between high-end, high-cost LED light bars and brackets, and low-quality, cheap light bars. "We slowly started testing and prototyping LED light bars and brackets until we knew we had a product we could put our promise behind," said Smith. With the new LED light bars and brackets that Smith Customs was developing Josh knew that they could offer a high-end product at a price that the average off-roading enthusiast could afford. Thus was born Apoc Industries.

The new universal light mount can be used any place. It has 2 pivot points that can swivel 360 degrees and a slotted grove so mounting can be adjusted in even more ways. Apocs new universal off-road light mount can be used on any vehicle for any purpose. They are great brackets for mounting lights on vehicles that don't have custom made brackets.

Features of the new brackets include:

Laser cut 3/16 steel
powder coated texture black for long life
4 pivot points
2 slotted holes for unlimited options
Thick steel to eliminate shaking and vibrations

Apoc Industries’ light bars are IP 68 rated, which means they are fully waterproof and submersible. They have an unbreakable lens, Crees top of the line LED’s with low-battery draw, and patented 3D optics making their LED light bars a high quality and unique truck, Jeep, and ATV lighting option at a fraction of the cost of other high-end light bars.

Apoc Industries’ patented optics offer one of the best light patterns on the market: a tight spot for superior distance of the light, and a great controlled flood pattern that gives higher than normal lumen output without drawing more amps. Apoc lights have a 5 year “no questions asked” warranty against any LED failure and water intrusion, including condensation inside of the lens.

Jeep LED Light Bars and Mounts

2015-05-08T17:16:00-04:00

All Jeep LED light bars are not created equal.

Picture this: It’s dusk, the anticipation for the trail is nearly killing you and your crew but you finally get ready for your first night time off roading venture of the season. You’ve been on this trail a few times before but it’s not one you know inside and out. Things are going great, but as the sun sets lower you are hoping those new lights you got a ‘discount’ on from Amazon are gonna get brighter. They don’t. But who cares? You and your rig are tough. You plow through the night, squinting to see any obstacles in the path ahead. But even the slow pace you’ve had to adopt doesn’t save your lights from a low-hanging branch. You hear the scraping and watch as your lights go out as the branch wins out over those mounting brackets you got such a great deal on. This is not what you want to happen.

Don’t make the mistake of trusting cheap Jeep LED light bars at night.

When you’re off-roading at night, preparation is the most important part of your trip. It is the difference between getting lost and getting home, between rolling and riding. And one of the most important things you can invest in is your lights. The proper lighting can make all the difference in the world on your nighttime Jeep run. At Apoc we put our lights and our mounting through strenuous testing to ensure they can hold up under the most severe conditions. You’re either gonna pay a little more on the front side for quality Apoc lighting or you’re gonna pay off the road with the discount lights.

Apoc Off Road LED Light Bars

The key to having a successful climb at night starts with the right off road LED Lights

The formula for a legendary climb is simple, but it’s not always easy. Whether it’s your first time or whether you are a pro there are three things that add up to make a great ascent: the best route, good traction, and the right amount of momentum. If you have these three things then your rig will make it to the top.

Don’t forget these things when attempting an off-road climb.

If the ground is slippery use the highest gear you have. When you use a low gear you may wind up losing your traction because the spin of your wheels might happen too fast. A lower gear allows you to get and keep your traction better. The right amount of momentum is imperative to a good off-road climb, especially in slippery conditions. Be sure to figure out how much speed you need as you approach the ascent and make sure you ease off as you get to the top so that you don’t over-compensate. Go through all the ‘worst-case scenarios’ in your head and make sure you can safely get your Jeep back down the hill if things go wrong. And the most important thing to do is to make sure you have a good route.

You can’t find the best route at night without good off road lights.

To find the best route you may need to get out on foot and survey the terrain. Doing this in the dark with a hand-held flashlight is tedious and it only gives you part of the picture. When you have great LED lights mounted to your truck then you can see the whole hillside better and get a more comprehensive idea of where to go and how to maneuver. Things you want to look for include: obstacles (trees, rocks, ditches), tricky areas that may be slippery or have loose gravel that could cause slipping, and existing tracks and ruts. If you there are existing tracks then that is your best bet to get to the top. You want to try to climb the hill straight. If you have to ascend at a sideways angle you run the risk of sliding sideways back down. If you get caught in this position you have less control over the vehicle. However, if you are headed straight up the hill you have more control over the vehicle if you begin sliding. If there are sideways tracks then that decreases the likelihood of slippage though.

What is an IP rating and why does it mean for my LED lighting?

Whether you're on the trail in your Jeep or on the water in your bass boat you need to be able to trust your gear. Worrying about the integrity of your equipment can suck the joy out of your trip fast. That's why having off road lights with a high IP rating is important.

IP stands for 'ingress protection'. Essentially, it rates a component on how well it keeps things out of it. In our case it's water, dirt, mud, and anything else you can think of. One example is an electrical socket. Ever try to stick your finger in one? Thankfully for you they are given an IP22 rating. This means they are protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. There is a long way to go from an IP22 that keeps fingers out to an IP68 which is water tight.

The first digit in the rating refers to it's ability to keep solid objects out... anything from dust to small animals or body parts. The highest rating you can have is a 6, which means that it is 'dust tight'. The second digit refers to the component's ability to keep water out. A rating of 1 means that it is protected agains dripping water. A rating of 8, which Apoc's products proudly boast, means that it is permanently submersible beyond 1m. So whether you've flipped your boat with an LED light bar on it or you rolled your jeep with our 50"LED light bar on it into a mud hole, you can rest assured that your investment in Apoc gear will pay off with high quality components that can survive the harshest condition.

The Benefits of CREE LEDs on The Trail

2015-01-13T15:24:00-05:00

LED lights have come a long way since they were first used as infrared lights for remote controls back in the 1960's. There are too many benefits of using LED's over traditional light sources to detail in this post, but some of them include:

the light's longevity
the brightness
low-energy
instant on
durability

When you are thinking about LED light bars for your truck all of these factors come into play. However, today you would be hard pressed to find off road lights that aren't made with LED's. So, what features should you be looking for to distinguish one LED light bar from another? Think about this way... most LED's are gonna be just about the same when it comes to being low-energy, having an instant on, and being able to endure shocks and have a long life. However their brightness and the way the actual lights are built into the light bars varies widely from one manufacturer to the other.

Why Apoc Industries Stands out among Off Road Light Manufacturers

Brightness is one of the most important factors when you are wanting clear visibility on the trail at night. This is why Apoc only uses Cree LED's in or LED light bars. Cree consistently beats competitors in brightness and recently invented the XLamp XT-E that delivers nearly twice as much light as their competitors. When you use Apoc lights on the trail you know you have the security of having CREE LED's on your rig. Apoc then combines the CREE technology with their own patented optics to produce an even brighter more well delivered light on the trail.

And while the LED's themselves have a long life expectancy they weren't built for the rugged trail. That's why Apoc's engineered housing and LED light bar mounts are built to withstand the worst, most gnarly conditions.
