    Looks like a Gen2.5 TRD Sport, but really an '08 TRD OffRoad
    TRD Supercharged / OTT Tuned
    I would like to upgrade the front suspension on my truck. I'm looking at 2.5" coilovers with remote reservoirs (non-adj). I'll be the first to admit that I won't come close to utilizing the capabilities of a 2.5" RR but I like it for the aesthetics and the possibility that it will improve on the shortcomings of my current setup.

    (LR UCAs, 4" spindle lift, 5100s @.85, taco lean spacer plates, stock springs/coils).

    Likes: near stock suspension geometry and alignment and I like the lift/ride height to clear 35s, economically priced

    Dislikes:
    1. at low speeds, it's firm. Wish it was softer and my suspension would "soak" up all the minor city road imperfections. Want to take speedbumps at relative speed and not be bone jarring or wheel bending.
    2. at moderate speed, when cornering (like on a cloverleaf onramp), my truck feels like it wants to "skip/slide" whenever it hits a rut/bump in the road.


    Truck has no armor. Only additional weight up front is from a TRD supercharger.

    Usage: predominately city driving/mall crawling, occasional unpaved gravel hilly roads

    I've done my fair share of reading comparisons/threads but wanted the public's opinion on which one of the three manufacturers will give me what I'm after.

    $$$ Cost is a factor. Therefore, only non-adjustable versions are being considered.

    Ext. travel versions are being polled because I already have aftermarket UCAs.

    Prices listed are recently quoted or publicly found.....and shipped to my location.
