    My old second gen with 5100's, 884 front springs, SPC uppers, and a wheelers 3 leaf aal out back actually rode better than my completely stock 2017 TRD off road. I'm really not looking to lift this one much at all but I am thinking either the TRD shocks or some 5100's and about an inch more ride height is happening before long. I bet those rear shocks are a huge part of your issue. Stiff rear suspension in a pickup is always a recipe for a poor ride. Heck my old 79 FJ40 with a skyjacker 2.5" spring set and shocks would literally throw you out of your seat on a rough road if you weren't belted. 5100's on that was life changing.

    Hey Chase. Your much, much better off with a 2/1" Bilstein 5100 Lift. Your getting bigger better shocks instead of spacers, that are ONLY good for looks.

    A 1" block in the rear is acceptable, as that is what Toyota sells you on their OEM TRD Lift.
