Suspension Change for Improved Ride, but at Stock Height

[Mguts]

I've been looking around at different suspension options for my SR5--Overland Warehouse, Toytec, etc. I originally was planning on getting one of those and setting it up for 2" of lift.

The more I've thought about it, I'd like to keep the stock height and tire size, but make the truck ride better. Obviously, I could get the Overland Warehouse, for example, and just adjust it down to no lift, but it kind of seems like a waste.

I've looked around and couldn't find much...is there anything that would be like the Overland Suspension kit but built for keeping the truck at stock height--just for a better ride?

I'm not an expert on the subject, but from my reading the shocks are probably the first thing you should check. A lot of people seems to recommend the Bilstein HD or 5100 shocks.

The HD are officially supported by the SR5, offer no lift, and will improve handling (cornering and brake dive). They will be softer than the 5100, so you'll feel pothole a little less.

However, if you want improve handling even more, the 5100 are a excellent option due to their stiffer valving in the front. There is no obligation for a lift with the 5100.

Personally i'm going the HD route since my wife like the soft suspension of the stock shocks.

NB : The rear Bilstein HD and 5100 have exactly the same valve rate :
