    This pickup is going to be used for a hunting rig on rough roads so I want a good kit and some ideas

    Stock tacomas handle rough roads really well. That said, if you're looking for an excuse to spend money upgrading your truck... well, that's why we're here, right?

    I've done Billstein 5100 and Old Man Emu shocks on mine and found the OME to be much more durable. I was blowing the seal on a Billstein about every other year. I have OME shocks and springs all the way around and couldn't be happier for the money I spent. The HD leaf pack even carries my slide in camper without me needing to put air in my Ride Rite airbags.

    king set up is overkill if youre just hunting going down gravel roads/light offroading. just raise it up a 1 inch with bilstein 5100's, stock spronf coils, and 1 inch add-a-leaf, one size up tire thats better for offroad and call it a day.

    I guessI want to get the best ride I can get for the $ since I’m building my Tacoma to take the place of my UTV
    My brothers setup rides better than any UTV I’ve rode in but it came with a heavy price
