Who Apoc Industries is

Apoc Industries is a US suspension parts maker focused on lifted 4WD trucks and SUVs. Its site says it sells a narrow selection of suspension components and LED light mounts, and its tagline reads "Built in the USA." The range covers adjustable control arms and rear trailing arms, lift blocks, ladder traction bars, track bars, 4-link long arm and radius arm kits, truck leveling kits, lift and lowering shackles, and ditch and hood light mounts. The site doesn't list a headquarters city.

Apoc is best known for heavy steel lift blocks and adjustable arms for solid front axle trucks, especially 1994 to 2013 Dodge Ram 4x4s. Many of these trucks are old enough that the big brands no longer support them well.

How to choose between Apoc lines

Leveling kit or lift blocks?

Most solid axle trucks sit nose low from the factory. A front leveling kit raises only the front, so the truck sits flat and clears bigger tires. Apoc's Ram kits come with relocated shock towers, so you keep factory length shocks. Rear blocks raise the rear on leaf spring trucks. If you lift the front more than the leveling kit allows, you need both to keep the truck level.

Why anti-wrap blocks matter

Tall blocks act like a lever on the leaf spring. Under hard throttle or braking the axle can twist and the spring wraps into an S shape, which causes wheel hop. Apoc's anti-wrap blocks are made to fight that twist. Several are compound taper blocks, which correct pinion angle as well as height. Above about 4 inches, many owners also add traction bars.

Adjustable, high clearance or long arms?

Adjustable control arms let you set caster and center the axle after a lift. On Rams that need more clearance over rocks, the high clearance arms have a bend that moves the arm up out of the way. Johnny joint arms use flexible rod ends for more articulation. A long arm conversion is the big step: longer arms change the axle's arc, so the truck rides better and keeps a better caster angle at 4 inches of lift and above. Choose long arms if the truck is a dedicated off-roader or a tall build.

Shackle flip or blocks?

A shackle flip moves the spring to the top of the axle for a big jump in height, and it costs more than blocks. Use it on trucks that need serious lift without stacking tall blocks.

Install notes

  • The Ram 2500 and 3500 leveling kit lists a 1.5 to 2 hour install with Grade 8 hardware and no cutting or welding.
  • Use new U-bolts with any block or shackle change. Old U-bolts stretch.
  • Adjust arm length to center the axle and set caster, then get an alignment.
  • After a lift, check brake line length, driveshaft angle and steering stop clearance.

Apoc vs other lift brands we carry

Skyjacker and Superlift sell complete boxed lift kits with springs and shocks for a wider range of trucks, including many newer models. Apoc is the better fit when you are building an older solid axle truck piece by piece and want heavy duty arms and blocks. For newer trucks, compare complete kits first.

Costs

An Apoc leveling kit costs $174.89 to $679.93 depending on truck and options. Lift blocks cost $221.04 to $456.34 and a set of front control arms $231.47 to $855.13. Long arm conversions run $1,084.10 to $1,873.98 before install. Budget for new U-bolts, an alignment and possibly longer shocks. Warranty terms are set by each brand.

Apoc Industries Suspension FAQ

Is Apoc Industries made in the USA?
Apoc's site says its parts are built in the USA, and several of its lift block and shackle listings are labeled USA made.
What trucks does Apoc Industries make parts for?
Mostly solid axle trucks and SUVs: 1994 to 2013 Dodge Ram 4x4s, older Chevy, GMC and Ford trucks, Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner, and Jeep XJ, ZJ and MJ.
What is an anti-wrap lift block?
It is a rear lift block made to stop the leaf spring from twisting into an S shape under throttle or braking, which causes axle wrap and wheel hop.
Do I need adjustable control arms after a lift?
On coil sprung solid axle trucks like the Ram and Jeep XJ, adjustable arms let you reset caster and center the axle. Most lifts beyond a small level benefit from them.
What does a long arm conversion do?
It replaces the short factory arms with longer ones, so the axle moves in a flatter arc. Ride quality and caster hold up better on tall lifts.
Does the Apoc Ram leveling kit need new shocks?
No. The kit includes relocated shock towers so you keep factory length front shocks.
