    Hello everyone,,,
    I have a 06 DCSB prerunner with the TRD Off Road package. I want to lift it 2.5 - 3 inches but I also want the smoothest ride possible on the street. It is my daily driver and will never be used off road. I already purchased a kit from Headstrong that includes the Bilstein 5100 shocks, OME 885 coils and a Deaver AAL. I also purchased the Light Racing UCAs. Shortly after receiving the lift, I moved into a new house so the lift was never installed. Now that I'm getting ready to install it, I'm wondering if it would be better to switch to something else to get a ride that is softer and smoother than the factory TRD package. Like I said, this truck will likely never go off road. What do you guys recommend? Will the Bilstein 5100 with 885 coils give me the ride I want or should I go with something else? I want to keep the budget at $1500 or less. I've looked at Icon, FOX, Toytec Boss, etc. I like the idea of a extended travel coilover because it should help with suspension drop coming off of speed bumps and such. Also, I already purchased 34 x 11.50 Ridge Grapplers that I need to clear so I really can't go less than a 2.5" lift. CMC has already been done.... Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts.,...

    Welcome. But you should have done a whole lot more research. The 34s will have clearance issues with only 2.5” of lift unless you plan on doing some significant trimming. But most importantly you want it to ride softer and smoother than factory so you bought a lift kit, stiffer shocks and coils and 34s. Never gonna happen.
