    T-Rex grill with black bezel. Blacked out all the badges and added the Tacoma on the tail gate. The windows have been tinted to the darkest law will allow.
    I have the off road suspension on my TRD sport love the shocks. But wondering if changed springs would it give me a stiffer ride. And if so witch ones thanks in advance.

    Get bilstein 5100 shocks on all 4 corners. Set the front up one notch if you want a ~1" lift in the front.

    Coils don’t make a stiffer ride so much. Valving does.

    The OME 590# coils I use to tune were WAY stiffer than the 700# coils I run now. I just run better valves shocks now which is why the ride is better

    I thought the progressive coils on the Offroad were supposed to be “stiffer” than the linear’s found on the Sport packages?

    I didn't know that. I assumed the OR had a softer on-road ride due to its off-road oriented suspension.

    No, they are the opposite. However, the stock coils are 700# on the TRD OR. The Sport has stiffer suspension for street driving
