    Hi,
    My 2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport has about 95K miles on it and been noticing the suspension is pretty hard hitting, starting to feel every bump and wanting to upgrade it ( front and back) but keep it stock height.

    I have been doing some readings on this forum as well as research and allot of people lean towards the blisten 5100 all around, which I am fine with, or maybe a fox version.

    I am just a rode driver, no off roading. Recommendations of suspension, and would you recommend replacing the front stock coils if I am doing the suspension, I don't plan on getting rid of the truck.

    Thanks for any opinions with cost aside.
    Joe

    I would say just get a set of the 5100's and a new set of stock coils, although I pretty sure you could use what you got now. That will be closest to the stock ride.
    Edit..... or look on here for a set of 3rd gen take offs and go that route

    5100s would be good and I don’t think you really need to replace the springs if you haven’t really abused it. Sounds like you don’t. Or you can save some money and buy some stock take offs from a fairly newer truck. The only thing is anything from a 3rd gen might give you a slight lift up front because I think the coils are different from the 2nd gens.

    A lot of people on here sell their stock suspension. I will be doing that, but not for a while, I still need to order mine and then find time to install it. But for example, mine would be from a 2015 TRD Sport with 40,000 miles on it. I don't have any idea what they are selling for, maybe someone will reply with an answer.
