    What suggestions do you have for an upgrade from the stock TRD Off Road shock & spring suspension? Looking to keep the stock Off Road ride height. Thanks.

    Hate to beat a dead horse but you could get some 3rd gen TRD-OR takeoffs and put them on. I upgraded from normal SR5 shocks with 150k miles but it was a nice upgrade for really cheap.

    Most of the usual suspects can be bought at stock ride height.

    You know if 3rd gen trd-sport takeoffs plug n play with 2nd gen trd sport?

    If you want to keep the stock height then maybe look at some Bilstein 4600 or Eibach Pro. Otherwise I would suggest to go with some 3rd Gen take offs. You can find them cheap with low miles one them and they will only raise the front of your truck for about an inch due to stronger coils. They give a much better ride.

    Would the Eibach Pro set offer a better pavement ride, while still being good for occasional off road use?

    From what I read from others post about that set is that they give much softer ride than the TRD OR set

    Eibach Pro Truck OE replacements. Great quality, beefier design and a nice ride. Much more compliant than that stock Bilsteins.

    Don't confuse these with the Pro Truck Sport line which is for lifted rigs.
