And Im talking more "unkle buck" than the sopranos.

You’re mistaking your personal preferences for facts. Plus it seems to me that a manufacturer has to provide for a vehicle’s
loaded weight, not just curb weight. And finally, I’ve had this “mistake” (TRD Offroad setup from a ‘15 Tacoma + FJ coils on the rear) on my 4R since December, with many miles on- and off-road, and the ride is nothing like you describe. It’s firm but not harsh, and interestingly, that they’re too harsh is often the complaint about 5100s.
I have no problem with your opinion, in fact it’s great that people get varied points of view. My problem is portraying a particular approach as some giant mistake just b/c the setup didn’t work for you.
