    Well I recently made the switch from a full size to a 2009 Tacoma TRD. I live in Georgia and look forward to doing some light off-roading. This is primarily a daily driver but ill be looking into suspension mods and some URD bolt ons, any suggestions are appreciated!

    Congrats and welcome to TW :wave:

    Lots of options just depends on your budget: I personally prefer King suspension but OME, Blistein, Fox, ADS, and Icon are quality stuff :thumbsup:

    I was looking on DSM and was thinking about fox 2.5" adjustable COs with Resis on the front and rear with Icon UCAs and an OME Dakar leaf pack, sound like a good mid travel setup?

    That's a great setup :thumbsup: I have the Fox 2.5" adjustable CO with resi and 2.0" with resi in the rear, Total Chaos UCAs, and All Pro U-bolt flip kit with wheeler's front and rear bumpstops. However I have my sights on upgrading to the Kings 2.5" in the front and rear :thumbsup:

    I have King coilovers! Would definitely recommend them.

    If you ever install a URD short shifter, let us know how you like it!

    I've been thinking about getting one soon
