    2021 TRD Off-Road DCLB
    I have a 2021 DCLB TRD Off-road, and going to a 255/80/17 on Method 703's (0 offset). Lurked on TW for too long so my eyes have glazed over a little looking and seeing different setups, so looking for some input on what to get, given my goals below.

    Oh and here have a picture.

    Purpose: DD during the week, Weekend warrior taking on unplowed snowy roads or remote desert trails, to eventually acting as the transport, prerunner, and chase truck for a class 11 baja bug.

    General config: Winch and bumper up front, retrax + bed rack in the back, occasionally going to run a RTT.

    Goals for suspension: [1] lift the truck, and fit the new taller tire size (for extra ground clearance), [2] improve breakover angle (sure, its a trail limo, but its what I ended up with), and [3] handle desert terrain and washboard roads while hauling lots of gear, and drive nicely when it's around town. I'd like to maximize the travel given the new geometry.

    So my questions are, what components do I need to upgrade, and what brands/packages do you recommend? I'm in the buy once, cry once camp, so looking for gear that will serve me well for a long time, but also not trying to buy more gear/performance than I need.

    My thoughts are to upgrade the following:
    Front shocks and springs
    Upper Control Arms (increase alignment adjustability for new tire)
    Rear Shocks
    Add-A-Leaf (seems a custom leafpack is the way to go, but I haven't entirely figured out the rear end loadout yet)

    Thoughts?

    If you are looking for the "buy once, cry once" kit, we have it. We've done a lot of work making sure all of the components in our kits work together. No need to piece together your own kit and buy from multiple retailers. We have a killer value that very few can compete with. Take a look at our buyers guide here:

    Shoot me a message if you have specific questions also, happy to help

    Thanks for the responses! Looking at lead times as well -- I can wait a couple months, but not looking to wait 6+ months.

    With the custom leaf packs, how tied to your estimated load are you? I this something you can get spec'd assuming running pretty close to GVWR, and just remove a leaf while you're still figuring out your bed loadout?

    I went with the normal Deaver Stage II and it's damn fine.

    Depending on what you are after, our lead times could be as soon as 3 weeks after we get them in queue to revalve. We have a lot of options currently in stock

    All of them.
    I second whatever @AccuTune Offroad says. I'm running a fox setup from them. The sticker shock sucks but way worth it in the end
