    i have a 2014 1794 with the basic shocks and a 3/1 leveling kit with 285/65r20s. And I’m am sure my shocks are worn out the truck rides pretty rough and I’m not surprised because I do off-road and mud a lot and also driving logging roads fairly fast (probably too fast lol) but they are worn down at only 74,000 miles. So I want something that will ride smoother than stock when I bought it but will last me a long time. Most of my driving is sub 45 on city road but almost every weekend I’m off-road. Thanks for reading. Any help is appreciated and btw I love the “Cadillac ride” even though most don’t I like the soft cloud feel like I’m not even on the road

    Oem tonneau, side steps, spray in liner. Trd skidplate.
    Assuming its a spacer level kit, any of the coilover lifts will be much better riding. What is the budget for the ride is the question.?

    Are you currently rocking a spacer lift on top of your stock suspension? If so, I would ditch that right away, especially if you are off-roading every weekend. Thats just asking for trouble...
    Not sure what your budget is as that would help with recommendation but around here “Cadillac ride” is pretty synonymous with Kings. Although there are plenty of set-ups that will give you a nice on-road ride if set-up properly.
    If you’re not looking to spend $3k, then check out ToyTec lifts. Lots of members here are running their kits, or purchasing 6112s, etc from them.
    There is a lot of information on here about different set-ups. Almost too much! Good luck with your search!

    Check out @Toytec Lifts then. They should have a couple options for you in that price range. As I said, lots of guys here are running their set-ups. Don’t quote me on it but you could probably find something like the Eibach, Boss, or 6112 set-up in that range.

    I personally wouldn't go eibach. I did originally and I didn't get the advertised lift... Not even close actually. I'd get 6112s from boss 4x4. Toytec pretty much told me it was my problem after my eibach /toytec coilovers didn't live up to advertised expectations.

    Darren from boss 4x4 is awesome to talk to, great prices and fast to respond

    You would imagine toytec would know that. I have 6112s on the way. I used toytec for my 1st Gen tundra and they were great. But this experience turned me against them. They literally said "I'm sorry, nothing we can do. Have a good day "

    Ya I don’t like toytec myself....I’ve always used eibach springs and had good results. At least you found an alternative your happy with...basically it’s a spring rate thing when it comes to trucks I’ve experimented a bit on my Tacoma with springs.

    I would (did) go with Bilstein 6112-5160 combo and a 1" shackle lift in the rear. Very nice stuff for the $

    What setting did you use ? What kind of rake did you end up with?
