    Does anyone here happen to have the TRD 2/1 lift kit installed with a medium load layout? (Bumpers+skids+bed rack)

    My passenger shock has been making a clunking noise on occasion and I've wanted to lift the vehicle anyway. The OEM TRD kit seems to be a pretty good value for .~2" lift as well as includes the heritage grill.
    Im interested in knowing how well it handles on and off road.

    I can tell you that with weight it will still ride really rough. Save your money and invest in a proper suspension rated for more weight.

    I drove a customers truck last week that had a block in the rear and preload lift in the front. Had a topper rack, rci skids and sliders, it was awful.

    Buy once cry once.

    Can you take a guess at your weight?

    The plan I'm leaning towards is getting 2.5" front and back via an iron man stage 2 kit, Im just not certain how my 265/70/16 will look with that lift or 264/75/16 upgrade after a year or so.

    My tires are at 95% tread and I got new wheels not too long ago so im trying to avoid making them look too small.

    There's probably an extra 280-320 on the truck right now, plus some when I get new bumpers.
