    Ok I have a 2017 DCOR with the readylift 3/1 (really 2/1 but thats a different point) I've been reading for quite a while on a lot of posts and have paralysis of choice and need some local advice.

    I have 35k miles and counting and looking to upgrade my shocks and abandon the readylift (at least in the front) when I do this.

    I drive mostly on the streets and hwy, but occasionally go to bridgeport and play. But I on a regular basis (multiple times a week) I'm in the mud or light offroad with work at various construction sites. my 4wd does get used.
    Looking for most comfort yet improvement and keep my stance about what it is. I have 285/75r16's with the spidertrax and those need to remain.

    My brother (a jeep guy) runs the falcon/terraflex on his and loves it and recommends it to me, but not much info on tacos yet. I've ran into one guy with the OME BP-51 and he likes it (its a little more than I want to spend but may have too) I really don't think I need kings or any of those similar they just seem like overkill to me (don't get me wrong I'd love to go that way). Some recommend the Bilstein 6112's and some recommend the standard OME, but I hear both of those can be a worse ride for the daily driver.

    What are you local guys running and how does it compare to the OEM TRD OR stuff?

    thanks
    Chris

    Ome 887 with billy 5100s an a aal or dakar leafpack is a very popular option. I’ve rode in a couple trucks with that setup an was really good.
    6112s are awesome also with proper spring rate check out the toytec website they have a lot of options.

    DFW Local thread has a lot of activity and you may get more responses. We'll have a meet either the 23rd or 24th. Come on out, check out some trucks and ask questions. We all run something a little different including all the top brands. I personally have Kings, but came from Bilstein 5100's. The Bilsteins were just fine, but once I went to the Kings, I did notice a better ride.

    Had both and they’re both great but 6112/5160 are worth the extra $

    After riding in @MattCowsmasher 's truck, if you can swing it, get some Kings. I have full OME Springs and shocks, and it's a harsher ride.
