    Hi all, this weekend was my first inaugural off-road camping trip with my wife in my '21 stock ORP. We went to Bowman Lake in Tahoe National Forest. Overall, it was fun, but the roads were really, really rocky (6-18" size), so I was limited to 2-3mph in spots and the vehicle was bouncing all over the place. Nothing technical, but unfortunately even at 22 PSI (with stock ORP tires), the rocks were pretty rattling. After a 1h drive my wife was exhausted, but I assured her I'd look into upgrades... (Otherwise she really enjoyed it.) Hence coming here :)

    I don't want a lift kit because my current clearance is good given my need for freeway travel to get to trails, but I definitely would like a smoother ride overall. Does anyone have any good recs for what I'd need here?
