Ready Lift Rideability

Asking for input from those who have installed a basic 3/2 Ready Lift, link below, on a '23 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Do the stock Bilsteins still provide a comfortable ride?

The goal of your question is unclear. The shocks will behave the same, spacer or no spacer.

 

Fine for mall crawling. If you go off road and bottom the front shocks, they'll bend, if not break. Do it proper. Get extended length shocks with proper springs. The rear blocks can top out the shocks and damage/break them. Plus, the blocks can create axle wrap problems. Again, proper springs and shocks.

If you never go off road, you can get by with that kit. Plenty have.

Proper springs/shocks can get pricey but it doesn't have to.

 

So 3 major things happen.

All the joints get cocked, so they are unable to properly absorb bumps and usually results in bump steer. Also accelerated wear.

The geometry is worsened and the wheel base is shortened, resulting in low caster high camber, poor ride quality. Also means you need the ECGS axle bushing to stop vibrations

Lastly, the suspension is stuck in down travel, so you basically limit how much down travel the suspension has, so when you're on a rough road, you literally max the truck out on a 2" bump downwards.

Spacers are fine for many people, but understand there's drawbacks to a 300$ lift.

A lot of dealers have stopped and have switched to the TRD lift or Bilstien 5100 lifts to level the trucks to 2 and 1". 3 and 2" is simply not that great to drive.
