    Tbh i didnt notice much change in stiffness when i swapped out my stock suspension for these kings. To me they ride great. The only problem i would see you having is that spending 3-4k on a suspension for it to get a lil better or stay relatively the same might not be worth it. That being said you said you have a sport and I have heard that it rides worse then the stock suspension of an offroad so maybe you have more room for growth. I do have some preload on my kings but if your not planning on getting much height out of the lift that means you would have even less pre load and potentially and even better ride then I have. I hope that answers your question!

    my 18 is due in in next month and looking to do same build. How do those Cooper stt pros handle and how loud on pavement. I use my truck to commute daily and put about 30k miles a year on the hyw and city running around. I was thinking about going to the ridge grappler but sure like the more aggressive look of the stt pro. ur truck looks great

    thank you. I was just wondering what Oahu was like today. I was stationed there in the Air Force in 82 to 84. I loved it in Hawaii. Id love be able move back and although never been on the Big Island I think it would be my choice between all them.

    Oahu is a busy place, too much ppl on this size of an island. Big island is where i grew up and is a lot better imo. Lots of wide open places very good for offroading

    I am going to have to make a trip to the Big Island. I agree on too many ppl. I can only imagine.. I prefer the wide open myself .

    3” level 2” rear lift. Wheel spacers Bfg Km3s Ditch mount lights, light bar inside grill, interior and exterior underglows, rock lights , rock sliders, bike rack, SA sd3 sub
    Question for you.
    I have a 05 Tacoma with 5100 and 887 coils and 1.25” spacers with 285/75/16
    Looking to get 16” ray 10s and I was wondering do you think my stock uca will rub bc you can only get backspacing up to 4” and 1.25” spacer is equivalent to 4.25” backspacing what do you think?
