    Hey I appreciate any of your gentleman's or ladies time my wife did the whole red bow surprised actually you have a truck. I've been remodeling homes over my life I have old classic Land Rovers without any air conditioning and now I have a awesome Tundra. And I have a tendency to over build almost everything I do I have a 91 Range Rover with 4.11s air lockers drive shaft suspension 3 inch lift snorkel Etc and I try to geek out on this stuff and do the best I can.So we all know the pro model did not come out in 2018 so now I'm trying to work out leveling and I have a little bit of a hang up on the fact that the TRD Pro suspension will do what I need but it seems like the king coils or a better option and in my crafty ways I'm trying to think maybe strip the paint and powder coat it TRD colors. Or keep the factory set up for any kind of warranty issues on the whole verbal thing where it's a lifetime Powertrain . One of my other consideration is adding a Expedition one bumper and winch set up to the front. I want to get to the point way up armor this vehicle and make it safe when there's nothing to worry about .looking at the rocky road sliders(w the kicker) and skid plate set up. I really do like the overbuilding of the PP Engineering in the rear. Back to the front end, after trolling your website for so long it seems like the TRD Pro rear soft so I was thinking about only doing the front end or the Kings and leave the rear is it is help carry a load and trailer. Any help is appreciated I'm a Marine and I'm not very tech-savvy don't have Facebook or any of that junk, know how to Google.

    Welcome Sean.
    TRD Pro suspension has proven (to me) to be good stuff. But, for the cost I would go King or ADS. You rear leafs are the "soft" issue with the rear. Though capable, they're kind of intended more for unloaded ride quality IMO.
    RCI makes nice skids except for the gas tank skid on the 38 gal. tank.
    All Pro, SDHQ, white knuckle, and coming soon, BAMF are my personal favorites for sliders.

    Welcome. Kings will be the best choice of the two. Toytec Boss kit is good for everyday driving and will save you some. Overbuild and go with King 3.0 :)

    Welcome from Yuma. Bilstein 6112 and 5160’s. Great ride/performance/value. I have the rocky road sliders on my old ass 4Runner, I like them, however, they attatch to the pinch weld on body, no bueno. But the 4Runner is just a toy, not a daily driver, wouldn’t shed a tear if damaged. Rci makes great armor so does sdhq, I’m gonna get their sliders eventually. Got the wheel speed sensor guards.
    Do you have a crew max or double cab? If CM I highly recommend the esp under seat storage. The frac harness is a great mod too, once you have it, super easy, you won’t believe how much you use it.

    Frac....?

    Crewmax

    Also for all
    I'm going to use for mostly city and hauling and road trips w family

    Want to stay classy but can do what I need if necessary. Ie zombie apocalypse
    But want to be up armoured in case anybody that wants to be dumb (want to open your door into my truck...sorry your door is broken now)

    Already had an 18 year old looking in her visor mirror at her face smash her Saturn into my hitch and tweak my bumper. 1800 miles :(

    I like my other rigs because they will come out on top.
