    2018 TRD Off-Road - Yokohama Geolanders 265-70-17. I'm looking for some advice to make my vehicle more comfortable. I drive mostly on pavement 90% and maybe 10% dirt roads in British Columbia. No real off-roading. I can't afford that as a hobby. I do tow a ~2500 lb camper.

    The stock ride is really bouncy in large potholes on dirt roads. Washboard isn't too bad if I keep my speed moderate. It is better if I air down, but I don't really want to have to all that often, as I am trying to get somewhere most of the time. Larger tires would probably help smooth things out.

    I was thinking of Eibach shocks all around with a 1.5 ish lift in the from to help level out for looks and accommodate larger tires, but it sound like they stiffen up the ride. That is great for the pavement, but how does it affect the ride through larger bumps? Any other options I should be considering?

    i love my set up. Im 90% street as well with an occasional trip to my hunting property. Rides super smooth and planted to the road and like a dream loaded up.
