    Which suspension setup should I go with?

    I’m looking to raise and level my truck and maintain the stock ride all at the same time.

    I did a block lift on my 2014 that I had a few years ago, and I didn't like the change in suspension stiffness that it made.

    It stiffened the front end some, and I could feel every bump in the roads here in SC>

    U use the wrong spacer kit…lol
    U must be using the one that preload the spring more, just change it out to the one that mount on top of the shocks

    Any increase in ride height will be stiffer.

    if you want stock ride, do not spend 3k

    moving to an off road lifted suspension and larger tires - you will not have the same ride as stock.
    Larger tires on a Tundra usually means moving to a higher load rating tire, and those will ride stiffer.
    The lifted suspensions will also be firmer.
    Both of which is not necessarily a bad thing. But don't think a lifted truck is going to ride like a stock shocked and spring truck, with stock standard load tires.

    I had the rough country spacer kit, and it was installed above the shock.

    Go and read all aftermarket shocks, if it’s say improvements on road handling, no more nose dive while breaking, that mean stiffer shocks…lol
