I don't want to lift...
High end would likely be Bilstein 4600s ... (but I read can be hard).
Will TRD from a 2022 gen 5 fit?- if so, is ride "nice?" (set for sale near me).
Tokico? KYB?
Thank you

Granted that ride and handling preferences are subjective but I had both of those setups at various times before going Eibach all around. My driving split is about the same as yours and I would recommend either 4600s or TRD OR takeoffs without hesitation assuming the takeoffs have reasonably low mileage (<5K miles imo). There's a lot of info in the suspension post linked in my sig.
Bilstein 5100s may be firmer than you need b/c they're designed for trucks with extra weight such as custom bumpers, winches, etc., so they're stiff on a stock vehicle. The 4600s are for stock weight trucks so it shouldn't be an issue.
