Guys, please stop posting on this thread. Thanks to you all, I bought OME springs for my 4Runner today. Where does it end? Please, help me help you help me; stop the madness!

All Trucks have to grow up at some point. That’s why we lift them 
Well let’s see, it ends with…
Wheels, tires, lift, shocks/struts, sway bars, steering stabilizers, light bars, roof racks, hi lift jacks,
Front & rear bumpers, rock sliders, winches, skid plates, lockers, gears, on board air, oh wait, then you find another rig you just can’t live without. Then you start over again.
You see my friend, it doesn’t end. Ever.

Normally any level, Lift Or Body kit Will negatively effecttgd ride. My 2015 Silverado Is lifted 6 inches on coilovers. Rides Great But Nothing like stock.
If you blew But That stuff That quicky you may Have somethimg wrong With Your frame. Or somethimg That’s messing Your suspension geometry
I’ll agree that’s what most do . I lifted my f350 4” and threw some 35s on it many years ago. Haven’t done much since . It’s actually getting converted to a flatbed in a few weeks and I’m buying an older tundra. Probably just put that on 33s . Gas engines don’t like lifts and big wheels to much.
Around here we just put the lowest gears we can buy in them and the biggest tires we can fit with the least lift and cut the body:rofl:. Mostly crawlers in my neck of the woods, nobody I know does the mud thing, mud is yucky:rofl:. 4.88-5.13 gears and 35-37’s is the norm. I have a few buddies that run Rockwells (6.72 gears) with 44+ tires but I’m too old n fat to climb that high. 
@Pauly. You should research old man emu. They design mostly small lifts 1-3” for this reason, reducing stress on suspension parts. And I know it’s hard to believe, but their springs with bilstiens do ride better than stock. It’s their thing.

At some point I’m gonna get the OME lift for my wife’s ‘98 Rav4. Only 1.5” lift, but is supposed to be a dramatic improvement over stock equipment (especially when it’s worn out, lol). The 1st gen ravs had a decent amount of clearance to begin with, anyhow.

I had the first year Tundra 2000 rusted bad, thing I started doing was found an airless sprayer and got a gallon of fluid film and under coated it once or twice a year. I do it to my New ram with the small aerosol cans from Lowe’s just easier with the sprayer.
I was with @DisplacedTexan until he got to that nonsense at the end. Hah
@squidskc I have a 2003 Tundra with a leveling kit. Like displacedtexan said, I don’t think it will help your ride at all. But I don’t really feel that mine negatively affected it either. I got the cheap lift he spoke of. Bilstein is definitely a great option for a lift because it is also a great shock and it’s adjustable to your liking. Good quality shocks are probably your best bet for a good ride, but leveling it out makes it looks awesome too. What psi are you running in your tires? Maybe drop it down a little for a softer ride?
