    All, I have a 2020 Tundra SR5 TSS Off Road. I am currently in the market for a new suspension. I have never looked or done this before, so bare with me here.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, but not real expensive, suspension that I can do myself?

    Thanks!

    I have a bunch of options for you! But first a couple of questions...

    1) Budget - If I told you the new suspension would cost you $2k would you balk at me?
    2) Tools - Lift? Or jacks in the driveway?
    3) What would you like the new suspension to do? And how high would you like to go?

    1) Budget - about 1K, but will listen
    2) I have a lift I can use
    3) Just a better ride and MAYBE level it out in the front

    Okay. My next volley:

    Are you unhappy with the stock suspension that you currently have on the truck? What don't you like about it? Is it too stiff day-to-day? Too bouncy offroad?

    Tell me what the perfect "new suspension" would net you in your opinion!

    For that budget the Eibach 2.0 Pro kit is going to be your best bet.
    Easy install. No lift needed or spring compressor even.
    Pretty decent ride.

    But I’d save some more pennies and steer you towards Falcon. It’s a hell of a setup.

    Second the Eibach kit, set it on the second clip and get a +1 Coachbuilder shackle.

    The 2.0s have no clips.
    They are a fully adjustable threaded body coilover and Eibach did it right with no need to remove them from the truck to adjust them.

    Thought that was the 2.1 kit..

    Indeed, I was thinking stage one kit as it in his price range. My bad
