Is it normal to feel every crack in the road? Even the tar that they fill cracks with?!

Ever since I've had the truck it rides so firm, if I have a drink the the center it spills everywhere. It is so firm even with multiple suspension set ups! So far I have tried the following set ups -
5100 with OEM trd offroad coils set to 2.5"
5100 with ome 2887 on lowest setting
5100 with ome 2886 on lowest setting
Toytec Boss coilover with 650lb Eibach coil

The rear is OME dakar packs with Toytec Boss shocks to replace the old 5100s it had before.

My tires are 285/70r17 load E Nitto Exo Grapplers at 32 psi, I tried to lower it down to 27 psi but the only thing that changed was mpg so I went back to 32

Need advice because I dont understand how it can be so firm with literally everything. Even coils that are over 50lbs apart in weight

 

Load Range E's maybe?

 

I thought that could be but I dont see how it can have that big of an effect

 

I will admit that stuff like that drives me NUTS

 

E rated tires really do kill the street ride on these trucks, they are simply overkill for the majority of Tacomas. I run Es on my 1st gen and the street ride can be pretty brutal even with Kings up front and Icons in the rear. But the trade off is that they are far more durable offroad than a lighter load tire.

Once I air them down to 15psi or lower, everything is smooth as butter and I can really feel how well the suspension works. But on the street, with 32psi in them...they are rough. Just the way it is. There's a brutal speed bump in our work parking lot that I have to take a <4mph or else it feels like I'm slamming into a curb.

I would suggest switching to a C rated tire if you don't need the E load ones

 

Camber bolts seized?

 

No I just replaced them not long ago, I might just have to get rid of the nittos and get some P rated wildpeaks since the truck only goes in sand

 

Be careful airing down P rated tires in sand...another good thing about E's is that you can air them down to under 10psi and not worry about rolling off the wheel or blowing a sidewall...P rated tires are going to have much weaker sidewalls

 

It’s the Dakars.

 

Lower the tire pressure.

 

This ^ also having your 5100's set at 2.5 doesn't help either.

 

5100s are stiff, E rated tires are stiff,

but the Dakars are what’s breaking your spine the most ha. Try driving a Pickup with OEM leaf springs. See if you notice the difference.

 

2.5” BILSTEIN on TRD OFF-ROAD springs with E-Rated tires...there’s your answer. I have the same up with TRD SPORT springs and it’s much better than stock.

 

Let me direct you to a group buy for the finest suspension on the market

It's the E rated tires. I'm presently running those mistakes. Fauckers wear so slow, too.

 

It’s a truck,man. What did you expect?

 

I have Dakar leafs with TRD Pro Bilsteins and mine drives the same way, I attribute a little of this to the digressive valving of the shocks and a lot of it to the leaf pack being super stiff

 

650lb Eibach coil? stiffer than stock, do you have an aftermarket front bumper?

 

I have toytec boss now
