    Don't buy TRD Pro suspension when you can buy kings/fox/icon for roughly the same price.

    This is good advice. TRD Pro suspension is over priced, for what it is.

    What's your budget? Are you looking for a super plush ride, or are you looking for something similar to stock? What type of off roading will it be? Do you regularly haul a trailer or have a heavy load in the bed?

    Budget vs. Use/Functionality. Which is more important to you?
