    I plan to try the 3/2 kit in with the Bilsteins using stock coils at the first notch (no lift) setting. I wonder if that'll give me a smooth ride.

    There was a reply further up where a guy did just that. Are you in Canada by any chance? Mine will be up for sale later today. Only used 2-3 weeks.

    In progress!
    I remain extremely please with my 3/2 Readylift with Bilsteins in all comers...no other suspension-related mods. Final outcome is a equal or better road ride and nearly level taco with rear only 0.25 inch taller. Pics are posted in "
    3 inch leveling kit"

    SST Ready Lift pre load 3”F 2”R Lift Kit
    I was wondering how the SST Ready lift is holding up with the 5100 Bilsteins? I currently have the the preloaded SST 3”f 2”r lift kit on the bilsteins that come with the trd Tacoma 2020. I have about 45,000-50,000 miles on the kit now. The first 30,000 drove like factory it was great. The truck as a whole has 71,000 miles now and I’m noticing a difference in ride quality I can feel every bump now.

    Are you experiencing the same after long term use with the kit? I don’t know if I should get the 5100 shocks or just get a new pair of the factory?
