prerunner rides stiff, any suggestions?

I have an 09 dblcab prerunner with 285-60-18 tires and currently have trd offroad coils and stock billies all around with a 2 inch spacer to clear the wheels. I know that spacers give a stiffer ride but its almost as if if i ran over a quater i could tell if its heads or tails. the shocks and struts only have about 8k miles on them and I know the "off road" coils are stiffer than sport or stock. could i go back to stock coils and 5100's up front and still clear the tires, and would air bags in the rear give a smoother ride with the bed being unloaded most of the time. Any input would be great..thanks

 

You should get rid of the spacer and TRD coils. Put the stock coils in with a set of Bilstein 5100s set at 2.5" of lift. Then get a 3 leaf AAL set for the rear.

 

You know what helped me a bit..lower your PSI in your tires..just a few (2-3 PSI or more if you like..)

 

Yah... you can control it all just by adjusting the tire pressure! What are you running, the max. rated for that tire (or more) ?

Your truck is light, specially in back... it doesn't need the max. pressure if you don't have the max. load on it.

 

No no no, go beat on the truck a bunch until it rides like a caddy!

 

Spacer lift is you're answer... really any lift, anytime you change the suspension geometry, you're going to affect the ride.....


However, the real answer? If you want a caddy ride, go buy a caddy, not a truck.

 

get a fatter ass... sorry i've been drinking alot

 

My taco rides like a caddy, what are you saying?

 

Just go with 5100s in the front. The spacer lift is your problem.
