    New to forum. I stumbled onto the forum researching new shocks and struts. 2014 Limited 4x4. 2.4" leveling blocks in front. 140K+ miles. The ride was never real nice. But I've noticed last couple of years it's gotten worse. I'm looking for a nice ride on rough roads. I do some beach and ranch driving but primarily highway/city/county roads. Not looking for recreational offroading performance. Any recommendations?

    remove the spacer lift and go with some lifted coilovers. 5100s. 6112s or Eibach pro truck will all be much better riding and performing than the spacer lift and are cost effective. Just to a search in upper right of each one and you will get some threads with lots of good info, details, pics, etc.

    Eibach Pro Truck Sport shocks set to 1.9" ride amazing. Highly recommend them, way better street ride than the 5100s I've ran on two previous Toyotas.

    Fox 2.0 coilovers are great for your application. more rust resistant too if thats a concern for you.

    Thanks all for the feedback. I went with the 5100s bc I liked the idea of eliminating the front spacers. Wish I knew about the leveling struts before I installed it back in 2016. I need about 2.4" for the tires I'm running. And they still rub a little. The top setting on the 5100s should get me there from what I've read.

    Hit up @memario1214 at HotShot Offroad (forum vendor). I got my Eibach Stage 2R's and Dirt King UCA's from Colton. You won't be disappointed. :thumbsup:
