    2019 SR5 looking to upgrade suspension. Not really looking to lift it, just improve it. would i be better just getting a TRD suspension or Bilstein? Going to upgrade tires to 265/65-17.
    Read thru alot of these posts just looking for recommendations. Thanks

    You need to define “improve”.

    This is an important question.

    @slickone19 what are you hoping that your new suspension will do that your current setup isn't quite doing for you? There are a lot of good options out there. Common complaints of OEM suspension are nose-dive or bounciness, but that might not be your "fix".

    Looking to level out the ride as well as light trails. Going to be adding a Diamondback cover as well as a tent. This is still my daily driver so not looking to lift or get extreme. Thanks

    What do you mean by “level out the ride”? Do you mean you have to lift the front to match the height of the rear? If so, that is called a lift.

    Light trails don’t require any sort of modification. You likely won’t notice the difference between stock or something else.
