    Are you looking for smoother ride or more stiff? Why new suspension with no lift?

    Looking to keep current stance I'm planning to go up in wheel size for a more natural lift, I want more stiff something that will do good with everyday task and also do well off road.

    You can get any aftermarket suspension and have it give you no lift I believe.

    For things like a spring and shock combo (Bilstein 5100 etc.) just set it to the first notch. For adjustable coilers just don't preload the springs at all.

    The setup you go with really depends on your budget and why you want to replace the OEM setup in the first place.

    What tire size are you planning to go with? You need to know if you can fit them without lifting.

    Welcome to TW. If you plan on staying on the road mostly then a stiff suspension is better for handling and body roll reduction. If you really to plan off roading a bunch a softer suspension is what you want.

    Start with Bilstein 5100 front and rear, it adjusts from 0-2” in the front if you decided to level the truck out.

    Contact Marie at Headstrong Off-road and discuss your needs. She’ll point you in the right direction. I haven’t done anything to my suspension yet, but she’ll be the first call I make when it’s time.
