    Hi everyone, a few years back I installed a 2.5" leveling kit spacer in the front of my 2012 tacoma with included a 1" block in the rear. I neglected to beef up my UCAS and left the stock ones maxed out. Now all of my Fox 2.0's front and rear are blown. Yes, they have been on the truck for 180k now so I'm not saying the leveling kit was the only reason they are shot, BUT either way I need new ones. My front tires are cupping and proper alignment isn't even possible anymore. The stiffness from my Fox's is unbearable; you might as well sit on a park bench. I feel as if I'm driving through a hurricane on the highway, and it is actually a chore to stay in my lane. So my question is what is the best shock and shock/coilover setup for smooth on road riding but also something capable of going off road from time to time. Looked into Kings, Fox again, Bilsteins, Icons... I'm also looking for any recommendations on UCAS and anything else I might need to get the proper ride smoothness and ease back.
