    I put the front strut assemblies and the rear shock (no springs) from a very low mileage OR on my Sport. It helped definitely. The front springs are softer on an OR than a Sport.

    You should be able to pick up <5,000 mile OR struts (damper and spring assemblies) and rear shocks for $200-250. I think mine had less than 1,000 miles.

    I did not do a front end alignment because I never touched the LCA cam bolts. I removed the sway bar and popped the UCA ball joint. Neither of those will change the alignment. Once reassembled, I checked the ride height, and it was within 1/8" form the original....so my alignment is fine.

    Tires, soon to be shocks, bushings, and bull bar. No lift, not needed.
    Ok cool, from what I've seen, The iron man springs should give about 2 inches of lift (hopefully will work with the TRD offroad shocks) in the front to level me out. I'll also be putting an add a leaf in the near future.

    I have a set of 2015 TRDOR front & rear shocks and the front coil springs. Located in GA. They had a little over 10k miles on them when I took them off.

    Would a 2016 lose ride height if you put 2015 2nd gen suspension on it?
