Help me wade though the hype.

Here's what I need guys! I want to improve upon my suspension. Better on road ride. And smoother on trails and forest roads. My truck won't see any major offroading. And if it ever does it won't be for a long time. And I'll go Lt. So for now It just needs to be able to handle rough dirt roads and some very mild trails. Which the Trd suspension handles already. I want the best bang for my buck. For now im focusing on the front. I know I don't need remote resi or shiny control arms. I just want an affordable suspension that will provide 2 inches of lift a good ride. And not break the bank. Any input is appreciated!

 

Bilstein adjustable 5100s up front set to 1.75 with .25" Toyotec top plate spacer will give you 2.25" of lift up front for about $350.

Wheeler's 3 Leaf progress 1.5" AAL will only give you 1.5" of lift in the rear so leave the roughly .5" Over Load leaf in. The AAL plus the OL leaf will give you about 2" of lift in the rear.

You will then have a 2-2.25" lifted truck that has leveled out a little bit of the factory rake in the cheapest possible set up that I know of that is still proven and reliable.


You're next option up, more expensive but better, would be to just get a full Old Man Emu lift kit for about $1,000+

 

Thanks for the input! Currently I have icon 2.0's non resi in the back. And plan on adding ride rite bags with day star cups. Or possibly a Dakar pack. As for the front. I've been looking at used 5100's to hold me over till I have the cash for something nicer. Maybe SAW, Icon,King,Fox, camburg or walker evens. I haven't decided. As for UCA's I'll probably go with Lr or tc

 

See, you said "no major offroading" and "affordable" so I didn't bother mentioning Icon or Fox or anything. If you're looking at that level/line listen to him^ and go mid travel.

 

Just got some used 5100's. I'll rock that for now. Once money permits I'll go full mt and armor it up. Thanks for the replies guys.
