    How can I get the rear end back up to stock height without getting a harsh ride. What is the best way to go about it. Stock 2015 dcsb 4x4 off road.

    Which one will give me the best ride and recover my stock ride height.

    I put in an add a leaf from on my 2014, I have a 250 lb tool box in the back, brought it a little above the original lift. I'm trying to find the one I purchased for you, but my computer is not cooperating.

    It was the Wheelers 2" AAL.

    The topper I bought is the cheapest one a.r.e. sells with no lined carpet and I don't think it weighs much over 180 lbs.

    AAL is the cheapest with the worst ride.

    Airbags is the middle ground for cost, and ride.

    New leafs will ride best, and be the most expensive.

    In general.

    Ride Rite Air Bags will bring you back to stock + or - depending on the amount of air you install. 13PSI in the bags on my Pro gives a bit of tail high and pretty much stock (before the shell) ride.

    I put 2000 pound Hellwig helper springs on mine. For the price 129.95 and easy install it was well worth it. The ride is just fine loaded or unloaded. If you go this route and have a TRD off road make sure you get the ones for the TRD off road. Unlike air bags you do not have to keep fooling with them adding air and they do not wear out like airbags. They take about an hour to install both sides which including removing the wheels.

    Added the wheelers progressive 3 leaf AAL to mine after having the exact same issue, raised the rear end maybe 1/2"-1" over level, so around stock rake, and the ride is actually a bit better than stock. No overload (adds around 1" lift)
