Nebraska where you at???

my first inclination is going to be they are transporting legal in Colorado 'stuffs' across state lines where the 'stuffs' is illegal

 

i had a long discussion at ToyoTechs yesterday regarding the suspension on my old as dirt Tacoma and dealing with the crap local roads and highways here.
he said that my front suspension is 'probably just fine' and that spending well north of $1000 to get new OEM parts (shock absorbers,LBJs, etc.) would probably not make much of a difference in driving on these roads...

here are a few I frequently travel on:
i80 from i480 all the way past 84th in both directions across all lanes ... that is about 5 miles!!!
US75 from Offutt area all the way through south O to 480, both directions ... but it is definitely much worse going north
L street ... from 84th all the way to i680 and to 120th
90th street... pretty much from west Center all the way to Fort
I also travel down w Broadway in the Bluffs occasionally but it seems they are 'trying to fix' that mess up somewhat


what am i supposed to do
these roads 'should be' as smooth and safe as the recent drive to Fremont on 275 was

 

Put on some after market 2.5s. It’ll be dreamy.

 

would i have to 'lift' my suspension to do that, i really don't know much about this area

he looked at aftermarket shock absorbers when I asked him if there was anything better out there for ride quality but he could not find anything better than OEM absorbers for my truck and to keep it at stock height

 

Nope. You can stay at stock height.

 

do you have a link of what exactly you are looking at with 2.5s
my search button does not return anything of use

 

This can be done with 0-2”

Ah there you go. I figured it was there somewhere. I was looking under complete kits. If you get standard length you can stay at stock height.

 

heard anything about King performance shocks

here ... quite pricey they are

i basically offroad here at 60+ mph ,,, it takes its punishing toll

i don't wish to get bigger tires

 

@GQ7227 is getting 35’s?

 

i am looking for upgraded suspension parts to better deal with these roads here, not any lift or bigger tires/wheels!
