    Hey Tundra Nation. New here. I have a 2021 king bed voodoo blue tundra. 1st question. I'm looking to upgrade the suspension. I'm looking for the smoothest ride possible, like riding on a cloud. Never planing on going off road. What's everyone's recommendations?

    Depends on your driving habits, budget, and needs tbh. I’m no expert on suspensions, but I know those things are important lol. Why not just get some Fox TRD Pro takeoffs?

    Has anyone actually done this conversion on a Tundra? Google wasn't much help in finding any evidence of it being done.

    There are some 4-link Tundies out there, they're just far from stock. :)

    Talk to Accutune about custom valving some Fox or King shocks for you. Someone posted about the same thing a couple months back. They also used very long 500 lb springs as I recall. TRD Pro is not going to be ideal...

    What shocks do you have now?

    EDIT: And another thing. Check with Deaver or one of the other usual suspects on a rear leaf pack designed for best ride with no weight in the bed and and ~1.5" lower than stock. You may wish to get a rear swaybar as well.

    If you need to haul weight occasionally, fit some airbags for that purpose.

    I'd steer clear of the sway bar since every bump encountered will transfer vibration from one wheel to the other evenly meaning he'll feel it more.

    It's a tradeoff... soft springs and damping for a smooth ride... but then it leans too much in turns. Don't luxury cars usually have swaybars front and rear?

    I like mine with no swaybars, but the damping is very firm and it handles great. With original shocks it leaned quite a bit... and softer than stock would lean a lot.

    Don't need to sell me lol I have a TRD in the rear and stock in front. I'm just sayin it's a smoother ride without em and that's what OP wants.
