    I’ve got a 2020 TRD Sport, and the stock suspension isn’t bad, the truck is stock and I’ve had it stock for 3 years now, I like the occasional off-road trip and never really had clearance issues bc I never do anything crazy, but I’ve noticed the ride to get more bouncy on the road, and the truck does roll and dip when breaking, now I understand is a pickup and it’s part of its quirks, and I love the truck but does upgrading shocks/suspension improve the quality for everyday driving or only the capability off-road? And am I able to keep the stock height or similar with upgrades suspension, again I do nothing crazy with the truck lol just drive it everywhere and want to make it more comfortable if possible. I took a road trip to Tahoe from LA last year and I did notice the ride then more than anything. The ride quality just seems to have become a bit more numb and floaty not a good Sense, again it’s a pickup so I’m not expecting a class quality or even Corolla in that matter but I’d like to feel a bit more control of the truck when driving.

    Your factory shocks are probably showing age. A good aftermarket shock/coilover makes a world of difference. Budget depending...lots of options out there.

    How much weight do you normally carry
    What kind of tires do you have and what psi? Any shocks/struts leaking? How much off road(/off fire trail/off loging roads) have you done?
