    Was able to find a set of take-offs for $75 with 20k on them and put them on myself. Sorry I ever doubted you all. They are night and day different and didn't cost $400+ or extra labor in swapping springs. Thanks everyone.

    Interesting. I've always read on this forum that SR and SR5 suspension is the softest of the trim levels with OR being in the middle and Sport being the stiffest. Pro level with Fox being the best all around, on and off road. I had a 2018 SR that rode very plush but now have a 2022 that's way too stiff. Makes no sense. They both have/had the black Hitachi shocks. I'd like my smooth ride back.

    i hear ya on the shocks. my suspension barely compresses over speed bumps. rides a lot better with 500 pounds in the bed.

    i think they changed the spring weights on the newer models. they must have had a lot of complaints about stock suspension. my 2020 4x2 would bottom out super easily. my 2021 4x4 is stiff as a brick.
