    I ran this same setup (still am) and I do about 60% on road and 40% off. It took 2 years and 45,000ml to get REALLY stiff.. I hate it, way to rough! Im saving up for something better now.. if I could go back I would just save and wait.. im looking at the new OME bp-51 now

    I have the pro comp lift up front. I got it 100% for free so I'm not really gonna complain. I have rear bilsteins with an aal though. The ride isn't great but it's not terrible

    Update: Been a week and very happy with the ProComp 3". The Upper Control arms fixed my only complaint. Rides pretty close to stock shocks & suspension. TRD offroad stiffer than non-offroad? I am not sure.

    Pro comp 3' Lift Springs w/ 5100's all round. SPC UCA's. Pro Comp AAL rear
    I feel exactly the same. Am happy with the lift. I only used the 3' springs and used billys all round. Front set at stock height. SPC UCA. Used Pro Comp AAL in the rear. Does have a stiffer ride than TRD Off Road stock suspension but am ok with it. Truck looks good with a small 3' lift. Has more benefits than spacers/blocks. THOUGH. Also noticed even with the diff drop provied with the springs my front axle boot fins are almost rubbing. Just a heads up incase anyone wanted to know that. ​

    Also, I would recommend only on double cab 4x4 tacos or else the high spring rate will be way to much without a heavy bumper

    So I purchased the 3" procomp suspension with lift block, shocks and new front coils. Still have stock control arms. I have about 2500 miles on this kit and took it off-road for a week in Death Valley. It's been exceptional and I have no real complaints. Installed it myself. Only hick up was I had to pay to move a shop mount the coils to the shock and top plates because every spring compressor I had or borrowed wouldn't work cause once the spring was compressed I couldn't remove the tool cause the coils were too close. Anyway, I'm running BFG muds, 255/75/17 on stick runs. Got an alignment and although not perfect specks, it rides soooo much better than stock did. Funny thing is since the alignment, I no longer have that shimmy people complain about at 65 mph. It's super smooth. Oh and I have 2010 DC TRD Sport. Just my too cents.

    FYI the lift works really good once the sway Bar is removed, the high spring rate minimizes sway and feels great off-road.
