    Hey All! I've been looking to get new front and rear suspension options for my Taco. I'm a noob when it comes to suspension upgrades. I'm currently running the Bilstein 3100's in the front and the stock struts in the rear with a add-a-leaf in my leaf spring.


    Here's what I like about my current set-up:
    It's very planted on road, and is the best handling vehicle I own.

    What I don't like:
    It's pretty stiff.

    What I mainly want out of a new suspension upgrade is a softer ride quality. While I know this will affect my handling, I don't mind it as it's a truck after all. I am not going to be carrying any real weight except for the few times I go camping, and want to keep the same ride height. Which is about a 1' in lift in the front effectively leveling the truck.

    Some options that I was looking at was the Fox 2.0, but after reading some forums I believe it will likely give me the same ride quality? Ideally I would want to stay under 2k for the front and rear.

    Aside: If it's important, my taco is a 06 access cab trd-offroad.

    Please advise!

    I would look at the OME Nitrocharger stuff or maybe a Bilstein 6112/5160 setup. I haven't had either one so maybe someone can chime in with more experience.
