    I have a 2017 Off Road 4X4 SB stock and looking to lift it 2-3" but after all the reading and asking questions, I got the bead news that the ride will be a bit softer compared to the stock feel. How can I get a lift and get a 10-15% stiffer ride?
    Does it have coil-overs in the front or springs and shocks? I get the stock springs in the front are 600lb rated and can I find 700-800lb springs?
    Can I find coil-over by Fox stiffer than the stock springs?

    did any of your aforementioned research include looking through all the good info that's pinned on the first page of the suspension section here on TW?

    for a really stiff ride I'd suggest spacers in the front and Firestone ride rite airbags in the rear, filled to 85psi. Should be good for a particularly solid 2.5" lift.

    I have a 2nd Gen but I don't think it's possible to have a softer ride than factory. My truck wallowed like a pig around corners. The nose dive was severe when braking. Any aftermarket kit will be firmer than stock, in my opinion.

    ^^^ same as above. When i got my 14 it was quiet soft in the corners and braking, put a 3 inch bilstein lift on it and rides like a completely different truck. So much that my wife actually enjoys going on trips in the truck. She used to say it felt "loose"
