    Sheet over back seats to help with dog hair.
    Hello, I wanted to introduce myself, and I have some questions. I recently bought a used 2012 Tacoma TRD sport. Coming from a Nissan Frontier PRO4x I am very happy with it. The turning radius on the PRO4x was horrible. The Tacoma rides nicer and I prefer the way the Tacoma looks as well. Keep in mind the PRO4x was a new 2017 with no miles and the Tacoma is a 2012 and has 105k on it. The service record is extensive for the Tacoma the previous owner took good care of it. You would never think it has 100k miles on it.

    So far I put the cheap $200-$300 dollar lift kit on it. 3in in the front 1in in the rear. 4Runner sema wheels, and nitto grappler 265/70/17 tires.

    My question is, I'm looking for a suspension set up that is less than $1500 for the parts, will achieve the same amount of lift I currently have, but most importantly, I want a suspension that will be softer. I'd like to drive over rocks or speed bumps and it not throw you around so much.
