    I just had the 3" Rough Country lift (leveling) kit installed on my 2012 4 door 4wd Tacoma. I'm running 265x70x17. I hate the ride, but like the look the lift provided. The truck bounces all over and rides too rough. I primarily use it to go to work, tow my boat, and go on the beach in south jersey. The beach ruts get deep at times. Is there anything I can do to replace this lift kit with something better and more comfortable, and keep the tires? Suggestions?

    I have been looking at a few different forums. It gets very confusing. I'm not a car guy I just wanted a lift with a good ride that tows better and can go on the beach. To make my question simpler can I replace the rough country shock spacer with a billstein coil over and be do e with it
