    Hello all! I know this has been asked many times before but there is just to much information to take in on this for me to feel like I'm making a good decision. I would like to add 2 inches to my truck, mainly for some light off road trail riding. Nothing crazy as my truck does a lot of towing and hauling and I can't afford to loose any capability with it. I was thinking about a PRO COMP but after some of the stories def leaning away from it. I have a 13DCLB TRD SPORT 4x4 with the 4.0. Thanks for the help in advance!

    I know what you mean, so much info, so many options. Took me months to decide which route to go. Finally settled on Bilstein 5100 shocks all around, fronts set at 2.5" running stock coil springs, and a 2" add a leaf in the rear. Ordered from Wheelers off-road for $450 shipped. I think it rides just fine, and my Toyota dealer got the alignment perfect. Hope this helps.

    Keep reading and sorting through the info. Most important factor is budget, then what you want to do with it. You can go with a package or mix and match. You'll get many suggestions, but be patient. There's a lot to learn here. There are pros and cons to every option.

    Thanks, that's the hard part is finding what I need that will not affect trucks capability much as I tow and haul with it regularly.
