You don't off road. I assume you are trying to improve the stock suspension for better on road performance?

Why, does a 2wd 4Runner drive better? I don't need to float on air, I'm just trying to improve a truck that is a pretty good fit for me other than it's hwy handling. Changing the caster setting helped a lot, I'm just looking to see if there is another simple fix. I suspect that the majority of...

What size tire provides flotation? The present size tire does provide more "flotation" than the 225/75/R15 that Toyota used to put on 4Runners. Everything is relative, it depends on use. You need more flotation on sand than you do on asphalt. I'd say we have a difference of opinion based on...

I've owned a lot of 4x4 vehicles over the past 50+ yrs that didn't require a special suspension to drive...

Would it be practical to install a KDSS upgrade to my 2021 SR5, or is this a "cheeper to buy a new 4Runner with KDSS" situation? I did a little reading about KDSS and it looks like a big upgrade with lots of parts/ labor.
