    Good morning!

    Bottom line up front - I'm not going to lift my rig for another year or two. However, I do want a better ride.


    Background: 2015 PreRunner - bought it in July, bone stock still.

    My questions:

    1) Will 5100s all the way around (fronts set on 0) give me the better ride that I am looking for with stock springs and packs in the rear? Again, not looking for lift right now - just a smoother ride.

    2) What is the lifespan on the 5100s? In two years and 20,000 miles, I decide to lift a few inches, will I still be able to use the same 5100s, or will I have to buy another set?


    Input is appreciated - thanks!

    I'm sitting on .85 and the ride quality was amazing compared to my shot stock shocks. Although your truck is new, so the ride quality will probably be "stiffer". Enough to not like them? I doubt it. If I were you, I would put the wear on the stock billies and upgrade when you do the lift.

    Alright hey fair enough - leaving them as-is is certainly an option, and leaves money for other upgrades! Thanks for the input!
