    You're quite welcome, I'm glad y'all had a good time.

    We'll be out agaan next month, and I'm always happy to help wrench on other people's trucks.

    Parts wise:
    you can spend about 2K$ on King (or Icon) shocks front and rear or you can spend 400$ bilstein shocks front and rear. Both work, but the higher end ones are more adjustable and rebuildable.

    OME Dakar springs for the back are 250ish

    UCAs: @Blackout14 has a hookup for JBA, or you can get TotalChaos, Dirt King or Camburg for $600 to $800.

    Replacement LCAs are optional.

    Everything above is basically bolt on. Everything below requires welding/fab.

    Rear shock relocate is optional. $50 to $200

    Limit straps are a good idea $50

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/mtbs-2-0.410188/

    There is a good place to start.

    These are words of wisdom. That setup will let you roll with the blue/black group most of the day, limited only by your desire to avoid body damage.

    Then extended travel Kings (with resis and clickers if you really want), a Dakar Pack for the rear (with a shock relocate), and UCA/LCA combo from either DK or TC.

    Idk, if I where you first and foremost I would change that front bumper, that is hurting you more than your stock suspension as this point.

    I agree. Your front bumper looks beefy and nicely follows the lines of your truck, but it's not a true trail capable utility bumper. It looks like it actually decreased your OEM ground clearance AND your approach angle.

    It did. And does. But I can see taking it off yet. I'd rather drive good greens light blues. Beat it up a good bit and then get rid of it. But I will do something to get it up higher. And it seems from u guys it's possible. But if after all this it seems I should be able to get it up where it needs to be just gonna be a little front heavy hoping the springs will get it up.

    I believe your main goal should be to improve trail worthiness is to improve ground clearance, approach and departure angles, while maintaining or improving ride quality. All can be bought, depending on budget.
