Thanks for the idea! I get beat to death enough in equipment and my service truck at work. I'm used to a more stiff ride on the road so that's fine with me. Being able to handle bumps better is going to be massive.

My expectations are that my first new vehicle ever purchased would ride better than a lot of the beaters of my past. I've had a 1998 Jeep XJ, 1978 Bronco, 1979 F250, and a 1995 F150 that all beat me up less than this SR5P. Sure the F250 had stiff springs but it was meant for work.
I put Bilsteins that I got out of a salvage yard on the XJ and it was fantastic. It was stock front springs with spacers and Dorman stock replacement rear springs. It also had 29" tires on 16" Moab wheels. I did some absurd stuff in that Jeep with just an LSD in the rear. The rear springs could also handle me keeping 200 pounds of tools in the back all the time. This SR5P can't even handle a bi-weekly grocery run without squatting.
I am not new to mountain wheeling, dirt roads, or trails. I grew up in Southeast Texas and spent a hell of a lot of time doing wheeling and other shenanigans when I lived in Kentucky. Yes the mountains are different from KY to MT but aren't all that different.

Understood, it's the SR5 4runner not your first rodeo. Sorry, I couldn't resist using rodeo with all these Texas and Montana references
