    I have a 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium with XP package on 20" Gunner rims. I replaced my Nitto Terra Grapplers with Continental TerrainContact A/T 275/55 R20 tires. (The 20" Nitto Terra Grapplers were discontinued). The Continentals, while A/T offer a much smoother and quieter ride. I have 72,500 miles on my 4Runner and looking for the best shock replacement. Since I have only been offroad a few times, I am more interested in a suspension that offers more control on the road. Yes,..........my wife wants the smooth quiet ride. I bought her a Lexus NX300 two years ago but when we travel, she wants to take the 4Runner (as do I). LOL

    At this point, lookin for a shocks (springs too maybe) to give us a great experience on the highway, while allowing for some minor adventure offroad (specifically, trails to get to camping sites, etc.)

    Ok.....there you have it......Please share you thoughts, experience, and opinions.

    Have an awesome day and keep safe!
