How is the ride comfort on a stock SR5?

Non mechanical person like myself didn't feel comfortable doing it. Removing ABS wires, speed sensor etc was scary in front. Just having 2 jack stands jacking of the axle in rear was scary as well. Did it once to get the experience and never again. For someone like me even when my 4Runner is simple non KDSS its well worth paying a shop to do the install. Just my opinion or sharing my experience doing a lift one time.

 

SR5 with a set of Michelin's are the ticket.

 

I agree if strictly on pavement. Michelins are my favorite tire unless you need to go off pavement. But that's where compromises on ride quality start needing to be made.

Can't compare apples to apples ride quality with Michelin and an AT tire.

 

I remember when I test drove my 2018 SR5 4R. The brakes were very touchy/grabby and the brake dive was insane. It wallowed around turns, felt sluggish, but I loved it, and knew what I could do to eliminate two of those three characteristics. Maybe 6mo's after I bought it I put Bilstein 5100's all around, the fronts are set on the very bottom setting, paired with Dobinson 302 springs (approx 2.5" lift), and a 1" CornFed Spacer on the rear (stock rear springs). 285/70/17 Falken WildPeak AT3W P-metric tires. I love everything about it. The brake dive is virtually gone, its now "normal" or what you would expect to feel when slowing down, you don't feel like you are going to get launched through the front windshield. It doesn't wallow around turns any more either. The 285's added a slight hit to the already low MPG's, but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make.

 

I was referring to the LTX A/T 2. It’s quite capable off pavement. Definitely not for rock climbing, but plenty good for a high percentage of off pavement use.

 

I love Michelin tires don't get me wrong. I have a set of the defender LTX on my Tacoma once it became primarily pavement driven. Looks like a great compromise for a mild AT which provides good on road characteristics. Probably my bad unintentionally naturally thinking of more aggressive AT tires which will not behave as well as the LTX A/T 2 on road.
