This past year plus, I added a Bilstein lift (5160s in back, 6112's in front) along with a deaver leaf and Roadmaster Active Suspension in the rear. Definitely smoothed out the ride a little and added maybe 1/2 - 1" more lift? Also picked up a GFC this summer. I've used it half a dozen times so far...it's a game changer. Traded in the OEM rims for powder coated OEM rims. Picked up a used aftermarket steel bumper and added some BD fogs. I think I'm done for a while...I'm broke

I’m looking at adding the RAS and maybe sumo springs on my truck, along with new front coilovers to lift 1-1.5” all the way around and handle a heavier trailer a little easier. I’m still debating upgrading coil springs and leaf pack while I’m at it. I get a headache researching this stuff to death.
 
I did the Bilstein/deaver leaf first. I then took truck back due to sag, especially after getting the GFC. They recommended the RAS and it seemed to work. Still have the slightest sag in back when I'm loaded up for camping, but otherwise, looks level. Definitely smooths out ride.
 
Yeah, I like Bilsteins for Toyota since that's what comes OEM. Or OME, which I had on my landcruiser. Didn't want anything crazy. Love the 1794, especially the interior. Those are so plush. I have a feeling this will be my last truck. I don't drive enough such that I'd need to get a new one before I stop hunting/camping
