    I can’t help but to feel like it’s stiff, great handling but you cant go over speed bumps like you would expect a truck to do so. At first my thoughts were that the Limited is more tailored for comfort, but starting to think it’s the same as the sport? I know a trucks suspension has to cater to the potential need for loading down the bed, so I didn’t expect sedan level of comfort, but is the oem off-road trim suspension much more noticeably softer or a little bit more flexible than the sport? I just wanted to know what my Limited compares to as far as the oem suspension. Not sure if 4x4 or 4x2 makes a difference unless you specifically went with the off-road trim that adds off-road suspension out the gates, but I’m running a 4x2. Just trying to enlighten myself, of course this will all change to my liking later with a lift, but for now, not much people talk about Limiteds, so I’m eager to learn a little about my truck. Thanks in advance!

    It will be stiffer than the off-road. It's the same as the Sport.

    Aren't there only two shocks on these trucks? Hitachis on most, Bilstein on Off Road?

    Pro is pro. Lots of prosers out there rocking the red spring silver fox shock on their trucks. Blows me away that they willingly put that badge on the side of the truck.

    list is growing fast
    Sport has blue hitachis that I believe are only on sport. Aren't sr5 and limited the same? Black hitachis?

    This is correct.
    SR, SR5, and Limited share the same suspension.

    I have a Limited suspension on the floor of my garage (minus one rear shock, which broke when removing it).

    Additionally, I think that the lower profile tires and 18 inch wheels on the Limited model add stiffness to the feel of the suspension compared to the lower trims with 17 and 16 inch wheels with higher profile tires.

    I also know that my 245 stock tires are obviously lower and when they wear out I am upgrading to 265-75-16's and add some sumo springs in the rear and maybe some 5100's up front just to level it out...
