    looking at buying a mid travel setup but don't know what to get. been looking at the icon setup seems really nice and or going to kings with uca and springs in the rear if you guys have any suggestions just let me know what you think. going to be putting it on a 2017 trd off road and going to put a roof top tent and a wench on it at some point.

    I'd recommend Old Man Emu. I've got it on my 17 and love it, I decided to go with them because they've been around so long and the full leaf pack replacement.

    I can get you taken care of!

    How do you plan on using your Truck? Do you have a budget in mind?

    We have our Chase kit available!

    Our Boxed UCA paired with Front and Rear King shocks and an option to run a Deaver Leaf pack!

    I chose to go with King for my mid travel setup. I went through DownSouth Motorsports and their build your own mid travel package.

    BajaKits make great stuff too.

    Depends how hard you are going to wheel and or overland. I'd also say 70% of guys have a suspension setup thats not used to its full potential.

    So thats why im going with bilstein 6112/5160 and dakar heavy duty aal. The dakars can support a constant load of 660 pounds while keeping a 2 inch lift. I think you should consider this.

    Now if wheeling every weekend pretty hard or doing week long trips then by all means go Icon, king, etc..

    Weight is your deciding factor.
    Don't forget about ADS suspension too, I've been very pleased in quality and ride.

    For your rear springs I'd look for something different than ome, they do perform well, but they are the squeakiest thing I've ever heard, as soon as my budget allows I'll be switching to deaver or icon leaf packs
