    Been reading quite a bit, which left me worse off than before simply because I’m not sure which route to go now. I’ve got a 2.25” spacer on the front to clear the 285s and that’s coming off as soon as I can make up my mind. Truck is a DCSB TRD OR 4x4.

    Initially I bought a set of 5100s and was going to order some OME coils. My truck has a bit of bounce on the highway which is what I want to alleviate first and foremost because I commute daily. Airing down my Federal MTs helped, but only slightly. After reading, it looks like the Bilsteins are digressive which is opposite of what I want. I don’t have UCAs yet either.

    Of the available coilover options, which would give the best street ride while allowing mild trips through trails etc? My thoughts are King or Fox being that Icon is also digressive, right? I also plan on switching tires to either KO2, or STT Pro and adding some TC UCAs. Looking for 2.5-3” total front lift.

    What do you want for "best street ride"? A soft ride or a firmer ride for better control? Looks like you don't want digressive, which will give you better control on the street but not as plush of a ride. I would go either Fox or King then.

    I'm personally running stage 1 icons, SPC UCAs and 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Love the set up.

    I’d like more control, but my fear is that the feeling driving on the freeway may get worse. I come from a 17 Mustang performance pack that handled pretty well, and even as firm as it was, it ate the bumpy freeway much more. Not sure how much of this is just because it’s a truck, but that would be my primary concern and the feeling I’d like to alleviate as much as possible.
