    I currently have a 2019 SR5 on blocks and spacers. It rides OK... nothing to write home about. I've traded it in for a 2021 TRD sport and already purchased tires(285/65/18 ridge grapplers) and some 18x9 -12 offset wheels. From what i've read, these SHOULD fit stock with some minor trimming.

    What i'm having a hard time with is suspension. I don't need a crazy amount of lift, i'd just like to have the same clearance i have on my current truck, which is 1-1.5" in the back on blocks along with a 2.5" spacer in front on stock suspension, only I want it to be comfortable. I go camping and fishing every pretty often, but i'm taking smooth dirt roads for the most part. Thats as "off-road" as i get. Other than that I put about 6k miles on it a year going to work and getting groceries.

    I've read a lot about bilstein 5100s all around, sounds like its exactly what I need, but theyre sold out everywhere. I'm willing to spend up to about $1,000, and i'll do the work myself.

    *Edit* By current truck, I mean the 2019, as i'm waiting for the 2021 to be delivered sometime this week.

    Look at the Eibach kit, might be a good match for you. I love mine.

    If you won't spend more than a grand, do a 3-leaf add-a-leaf in the rear instead of a block. You have lots of options to net 2-1/2" lift in the front for under a grand. I don't think any of them will be a comfortable ride, but it's all subjective.
    You can have Comfort at lower cost, or you can have Lift at lower cost, but you can't have both.

    I ended up going with the eibach pro-truck adjustable lift kit, along with the toytec add a leaf. I figure anything should be more comfortable than my current setup with blocks and spacers. Going over speed bumps any other way than perpendicular and it feels like the truck wants to flip onto its side lol
