    SST Ready Lift pre load 3”F 2”R Lift Kit
    Hello, this is my first time on here and I’d like to get some opinions and people experiences they’ve had.

    I have a 2020 Tacoma Trd off road. I had Toyota install an SST preload Ready Lift with 3” front and 2” Rear. I’ve had it on for about 45,000-50,000 miles now. For an affordable option it’s great. I love the stance and look. The ride quality didn’t change at all from factory it was great. I do all highway driving 65-75 mph for work. I have the stock Bilstein shocks that came with the truck and I have 71,000 miles roughly now.

    The ride is starting to get pretty rough now and is noticeably different from when I first got the lift. I was wondering if anyone else can share there experiences with the SST Ready lift and if there are any other suggestions on what I should do to get my ride quality back?

    I’ve looked at the 6112 Bilstein Ready lift kit but the reviews don’t look good. I’ve seen 5100 Bilstein with the ready lift. I’ve also looked into just going with a new pair of stock Bilstein. Any ideas or experiences?

    Stay at 2” IMO keep components happy. CV angles will be good

    If I go down to the 2” in the front instead of the 3” what would you recommend. I keep seeing the adjustable 5100 bilsteins that go up to 2.5” but it says not to max out the height. I’m looking for a smoother ride with a nice stance. I currently have 265/75/16 with a -12 offset so I would definitely have room to go down to 2” because I have plenty of clearance now. But I really do like the 3 and 2 height now.

    Others will chime in for sure. Bilstein are great keeping them at 2” will be a better ride then 3” with top plate spacer IMO. PLUS your cv’s will thank you as well as other components.
