    I just finished my first major upgrade to my 2019 Offroad Taco and I love it. The normal road ride is much more "tighter" and the truck feels much more responsive. The ride through bumpy uneven terrain is slightly smoother, but not as smooth as I was expecting. I did hit some bumps with stuff in the back and noticed that the ride was smoother than without any load. The truck also got a measured 2.75" lift and looks noticeably sharper and probably as high as you can go before the truck starts looking freakishly high (note: that isn't necessarily a bad thing). The lift kit was from Ironman and cost about $2k. It included more robust leaf-springs, rear shocks, front shocks and forged upper control arms. The look is fantastic but I'm curious as to thoughts about a better cheaper suspension. I've already paid too much for this and I love it, but I know there was probably a better kit than I bought. I thought this upgrade was definitely worth the cost.
