I don't plan to off-road it at all, its going to get a set of Michelin Defender LTX's, and at most, see a dirt road here and there, maybe pull a utility trailer or a couple wave runners / snowmobiles now and again and that's about it for this vehicle. Living in New England we get our fare share of potholes and frost heaves, so that's my terrain. With that, who has swapped out the stock suspension (shocks / springs), with NO lift or level, for something that gives a slightly "sportier" ride? I'm just looking to take a bit of the mush out of the ride and maybe lessen the body roll some. Do I go with something like a set of 5100's with a next-level progressive spring set up? Or...? Not really sure the best path so thought I would ask the group here to see what people have done, and been happy with the results. TIA!

I gave in and bought the 5100 series trd pro during a clearance sale and it was well worth it. Ride is a firmer and it "sticks" while on ramps making a turn. The 4runner is tad more level , less body roll and little to none nose dive.
Would go with the 6100 series over the 5100 if doing any off roading.
