Question:
I have a 2016 Tacoma trd offroad 4x4 I like the stock ride with a moderate load but when towing a small travel trailer I would like a little more at the end of the suspension travel, the truck and trailer handle very well 85 of the time, its only when hitting a dip or pothole at speed that the bump stops hit. Can you tell me the difference in height between the two Timbren kits, I understand that the Sumo kit would be in contact with the axle when unloaded, I do not want to raise the rear of the truck.

Expert Reply:
The springs in both Timbren kits for a 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, # TABSOSR, and # TTORTUN4L, are both 3-3/4 inches tall. The difference is that kit # TABSOSR is intended for vehicles without a U-Bolt Flip Kit. And # TTORTUN4L is designed for vehicles with 3 Leaf Springs in the rear suspension.
To avoid a stiff ride a better option would be air bags, # F2407. They will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the bags for the best ride quality. I have linked a video review of the Firestone air bags for you.
