    Hi Folks,

    Doing some planning for life extension on my 2014 SR5. At some point I would like to replace wear parts in the suspension (currently all original stock at 213k km)
    Couple questions:
    -What all should I be looking to swap out?
    -Is just buying trd off road components a reasonable plan/cost effective? Not looking to go crazy haha.

    Appreciate any and all ideas.

    You could see if someone is selling some newer take-off parts from a 2021 or close to it and run those. It's probably just the struts and shocks you'd need.

    Bushings might be shot too, so new strut top plates might be needed

    I am in the same boat. Looking for replacement options and knowledge of what to replace. Some say don't fix it if it isn't broken. Others say, replace all parts. Some say OEM only. Others say upgrade only. Some say economy pars are ok.
    My 2016 is a little rusty and has 130,000 miles on it. So far I have been collecting new parts for a year to do a suspension refresh as I would like to do it all at once. Going with Moog on most of this, with Eibach Coils and shocks.

    Coils/ front shocks
    Rear shocks
    LCA
    Sway bar links
    Sway Bar bushings
    Shackle Mount Bushings
    Shackles
    Leaf Spring bushings
    Tie Rod Ends
    Inner Tie Rods

    Still need UCAs, CV Axles, Leaf Springs, Bump Stops

    Hoping to find low mileage take offs for Leaf Springs and possibly UCAs. Probably Trakmotiv from Rock Auto on the CV Axles. I have some time before install, hoping this summer though!

    Thanks! Yes everyone has a different level of acceptability. I don’t need it to feel like a Jag or win a desert race, just feel a little newer/bit less bagged haha. Too many loads of gravel and whatnot hey.
