The Tesla Cybertruck is already one of the most capable and most talked-about vehicles on the road, but anyone who spends real time off pavement or hauling gear quickly learns the same thing: factory suspension tuning is always a compromise. It has to work for the widest range of drivers, road conditions, payloads, and comfort expectations. That is exactly where the Unplugged Performance Tesla Cybertruck Rear Secondary Adjustable Shock Kit for OEM Suspension, better known as CYBRSHOCKS, comes in.

After recently spending time testing the system in the dirt with development driver Craig Coker, one thing became clear almost immediately: CYBRSHOCKS are a meaningful upgrade for Cybertruck owners who want more control, more stability, and a suspension setup that can adapt to how they actually use their truck.

What Are CYBRSHOCKS?

CYBRSHOCKS is a secondary damper system designed to work alongside the Cybertruck’s factory air suspension. Rather than replacing the entire OEM suspension, it enhances it. That is a major part of the appeal.

This kit is tucked in next to the rest of the OEM suspension links and acts as a helper to the stock rear suspension, giving drivers the ability to fine-tune rear suspension behavior without giving up the benefits of the factory air system. It is designed to improve both off-road control and on-road stability, especially when the truck is carrying extra load.

Why Are CYBRSHOCKS Needed?

From the driver’s seat, one of the biggest issues with the OEM rear suspension in demanding conditions is how quickly the rear wants to rebound. In high-speed off-road situations, especially over whoops, crests, and uneven terrain, that faster rebound can create extra pitch. The truck can feel like it wants to throw its nose forward, which can make the vehicle feel more unsettled than it should.

That is where CYBRSHOCKS makes such a dramatic difference.

By increasing rebound damping, the rear suspension drops more slowly and more deliberately. Instead of the truck pitching forward, it stays more level and more composed. In Craig’s own testing, the difference between the extremes was immediately noticeable. With settings at zero, the truck felt bouncy, moved around more, and felt less settled. With rebound turned up significantly, the rear became much more controlled and the truck stayed flatter and more stable.

In other words, CYBRSHOCKS helps the Cybertruck behave more like you want it to when the terrain gets demanding.

How Do CYBRSHOCKS Work?

The key to CYBRSHOCKS is adjustability.

Drivers can tune both compression and rebound, with up to 20 settings on each. That gives Cybertruck owners a wide range of control depending on how they use the vehicle.

Rebound adjustment controls how quickly the suspension extends after compression. For off-road use, this is especially important because too-fast rebound can upset the truck’s balance and cause unwanted pitching. Slowing that rebound down helps the truck feel more planted and composed.

Compression adjustment changes how the shock resists being compressed. In many off-road situations, heavy compression tuning is not the first priority, but it becomes more useful when you are carrying additional weight in the bed, running extra gear, transporting passengers, or adding equipment like a spare tire and recovery gear. In those situations, a bit more compression support can help the rear stay more controlled under load.

How Easy Are They to Adjust?

One of the standout features of CYBRSHOCKS is how easy they are to manage.

Because the kit works with the OEM air suspension, you can raise the Cybertruck and simply reach in to access the adjustment points. That makes tuning the shocks much more practical than many people expect. You are not dealing with a complicated process every time you want to make a change.

That matters because suspension tuning should not feel intimidating. CYBRSHOCKS gives drivers the freedom to experiment, make small changes, and dial in the truck for their own driving style. Want more rear control for faster desert-style off-roading? Add rebound. Hauling gear or loading up the bed? Add a little compression. Going back to lighter-duty daily use? Adjust accordingly.

It is a highly usable system, not a set-it-and-forget-it part unless you want it to be.

Who Are CYBRSHOCKS For?

This upgrade is ideal for several types of Cybertruck owners.

First, it is for off-road drivers who want better rear-end stability, more confidence over rough terrain, and improved control when driving at speed off pavement.

Second, it is for owners who haul. If you regularly carry equipment, extra cargo, camping gear, tools, or passengers, CYBRSHOCKS gives you more support and more tuning flexibility than the stock rear setup alone.

Third, it is for enthusiasts who want more control over how their truck feels. Not everyone wants a one-size-fits-all suspension experience. CYBRSHOCKS is for the owner who wants to optimize the Cybertruck around daily-driving use.

How Big of an Impact Does It Make?

Based on our recent testing, the impact is absolutely noticeable.

This is not one of those upgrades where you have to convince yourself it works. When properly adjusted, the truck feels more stable, more controlled, and less prone to unwanted pitch. The rear suspension behaves with more composure, especially in the kinds of scenarios where the factory setup starts to show its limits.

For many Cybertruck owners, that means more confidence off-road. For others, it means a better-managed truck when loaded up. For all of them, it means unlocking more capability from the OEM suspension platform.

That is what makes CYBRSHOCKS such a smart upgrade. It does not fight the Cybertruck’s factory suspension. It helps it perform at a higher level.
