    After reading for hours about add-a leaf, coil-over, shocks upper control arms etc... I'm still just as confused as ever.

    What I want on my 2010 single cab 4X4
    :
    Enough clearance for 33" tires and a very "soft" ride, don't care about slop or body roll, I actually like that feel, like the feel of driving an old sedan. It is for light trail use and I am not an aggressive driver so don't need much cornering ability. No high speed stuff so not worried about bottoming out etc...

    Tell me what to buy to get that feel and the clearance I want on a reasonable budget!

    Thanks!

    Kings and toss the sway bar.

    Kings or ADS coilover with a soft spring like 550lb and deaver j66 leaf packs with matching shocks in the rear. And lose the sway bar as @DustStorm4x4 mentioned. Uca just pick which ones you think look the best. I recommend some JBA as they have the most range of movement and won't brake the bank.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm looking at the different King coilover options and can't figure out how much travel I should pick to get around 2-2.5" of lift on a soft spring like a 550.. The back seems simpler.

    I would go with extended travel kings with 14" coils if your unsure about it Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road is very knowledgeable with what setup would be the best fit for a single cab
