    Looking for setup suggestions. I'm putting a 2016 TRD OR suspension on my 2013 4X4. What can I expect from the ride quality? Anything else I should do while I'm there?? Thanks. 27ee9f66f138b6d8d6995a9982029b2e_829b6df69360b852de74a8209bc1758fdfcd676f.jpg

    Sorry. I mean I purchased these. I'm going to install them but wanted to know what to expect or look out for and if I should upgrade anything else while I'm there.

    lol, my bad ... those are not adjustable bilsteins, but should be better than the old ones you may have. no lift gained out of that setup, but ride should be decent. I was on those before I upgraded. the offroad coils are a bit more firm (progressive (tighter coil spacing at one end), rather than linear), but not bad by any means.

    I don't know if I am recalling correctly but aren't the 2016 coils a bit higher? And I also believe it is a higher pound per coil than the 05 -15? I am not 100% about either but I do remember wondering what it would be like on my 2012 when I read it somewhere.

    That's what I understand. I should gain about an inch on the front. And the drivers side is more firm to account for Taco Lean.

    I'm curious about ride quality over my current OEM suspension. I'd also like to hear from you all with the knowledge of I should do anything else while I'm doing this work.

    FWIW I'm more of a mall crawler who does some camping.
