    Are you a flamer? I asked for constructive advice about suspension. You respond with some half crazy suggestion I should test drive vehicles. If you want to be constructive, great. If you want to insult, get your rocks off somewhere else.

    Search the For Sale threads for anyone selling (or giving away) their take-off suspension.

    Have seen plenty go for free or for shipping costs.

    Whichever you find first or cheapest will be most economical. SR/5 are the softest.

    I recently purchased some low-mile 2020 TRD Pro Fox takeoffs. I will report back on the ride in my SR after I install them.

    3 people have asked about your tires dude. What tires are you running?!

    Tires could be your problem. Pro or Off-road take off shocks aren't going to fix the harsh ride your access cab SR would have with a 10 ply tire.

    i have basic road tires (not off road). Same size that came with the Base 2017 Tacoma ST
    I have some basic road tires the exterminator fleet put on. Not off-road and the same size that cage with the 2017 SR Base model. I’ll check the make, but not one I’ve heard of. Really basic road tires.
