I suggest looking at something like Low Range Offroads website that gives you the break down of what all comes with their kits. With that particular kit, along with the Readylift and the truxxx, the ride stays the same as stock because the spacer goes on top of the strut assembly, not in it, like the toytec. Not saying the bilsteins are bad, just different and not complete if youre going to go that route, youll still need at least a differential drop with bilsteins if youre going over 2" of lift.

Thanks for the input! What do bump stop/skid plate spacers and the differential drop get me? And what's the advantage of the spaces going on top of the strut assembly as opposed to in it? And which solution is going to give me an improvement over the stock ride? It is a pretty smooth ride if I'm on completely flat surface, but bounces all over the place on anything else.

THanks!
