I am so confused. Suspension issue

I have been adding skids plates to my 2024 Tacoma off Rd and I think I noticed over the back couple of days a couple of not smooth responses from a dip in the road. Apart from spending $4000 to upgrade to King 2.5, are there different options. I have been reading that some experiences a good response by simply upgrading the springs specifically in the front to these all dogs. They say they get a lift of about 1 inch and improved performance. All dogs offers these all the way around also. Any real world experience. Some say that the current stock Bilsteins with reservoirs are good but you need to longer spring and that the alldogs does the trick for a very cost effective solution. But some also say that the last batch sagged and the new batch should be better. It is so confusing. I just don't have the luxury of keeping the truck dismantles and keep trying different things and honestly don't want to spend 4 k for a set of kings if I can help it. But also don't want to fool myself and do a cheap upgrade to for a spring that may or may not work. I definitely noticed the added weight from skids effects the on road performance and I will only do occasional off-road and nothing heavy duty. I am interested in excellent on road silky smooth performance. Any thoughts and experiences that you can share.

I mean, how could you go wrong with these?

 

I installed the Alldogs front springs about a month ago along with the ICON shock reinforcement plates.

Looks-wise I'm very happy with it. It added 1.5" to the front, and left about half an inch of rake. Just about perfect, IMO.

Performance-wise I'm also pleased. Onroad feels stock to me, no crazy bouncing or dipping on braking, and not any stiffer or harsher than stock that I've noticed. I've also had it offroad twice and it performed well. It's not a baja setup, but the front didn't make any unusual noises, and I never felt any hard knocks of the shocks reaching the extension limit, etc...

All this on a '24 OR.

 

Ride is really subjective especially if you aren't differentiating front from rear. Spring rate is for weight, length/preload is for lift. My wife's FJ has Icon 700 lb coil springs and Icon 2.5 VS coilovers in front, set to a 2" lift, side to side leveled, and it rides like pillows. Full steel bumper and winch that has to be over 200# total.
I attribute it to the coilovers dampening, not the springs. To me springs are just spring rate for weight and length/preload threads for lift. I won't buy any brand coil springs without rate and length specs.

I put OME Nitrochargers 90071L in rear to pair with Icon 3" lift springs to achieve more droop than the way more expensive Icons it came with, and I notice little difference overall.

On my 3rd Gen Tacoma, I merely have entry Bilstein 5100s with OME 886 in front, for 115# hybrid bumper and winch weight, and I am good with the ride, on and offroad.

3rd Gen is leaf springs rear, so not really applicable to coil sprung rear, but the rate and length factors remain the same as the FJ- what is stock length and rate, what rear weight have I increased or lift desired, and what are the springs that I am considering with rate for weight or length for lift, so desired.

 

Sounds like Kings are the answer. Report back your findings after install.
