    Looking for thoughts in lifts. Have a gen5 with KDSS and want to lift it 2-3”. I’ve been looking at some Toytec options that were recommended, but looking for some insight. Are they good, bad, meh?

    I really like my Dobinson suspension. 3 rock crawling trips to Moab and Tenn. and in 60,000 miles and I have had no issues. There may be better riding suspensions out there but I feel the Dobi is the best value for your dollar. I highly recommend.

    a bit more for kings? a bit more than what, one arm and half a leg? Just read and read more and more, you will figure out what options you have. Consider what you want to do with you rig, and what quality of lift you need. unless you are going pretty hard getting kings or fox is just to brag about the fact you have them. unless you are going up in tire size no real reason to lift. there are a few good youtube channels ive found, check out overland pacific northwest, he and his brother make great content.

    Eibach pro truck stage 1. 2.75" front and 1" rear is probably the best budget lift out there
