    My 2015 TRD Pro, 178k miles of good hard use appears to need some new suspension components. The front shocks are weeping fluid, and the ball joints / control arms have what looks like dry rot cracks beginning to develop in the bushings.

    I hunt, fish, and use the 4wd system regularly but also appreciate the stock ride comfort and height for the rough pothole situation here.. Not a weekend overlander or trail master by any stretch of the imagination.

    Based in New Orleans - anybody have experience with legit suspension work shops around here?

    Trying to game out which pathways I might take for replacing these components - OME, Bilstein, factory TRD stuff etc. Not looking for too much increasing on the TRD Pro ride height but I’d like quality components. Is clean slate full suspension kit a better move than doing shocks, then other stuff etc.

    Not being an ass, but "I hunt, fish, and use the 4wd system regularly..." what does that have to do with using the 4WD system? Secluded off road areas?

    Not sure why it's so difficult to equate hunting & fishing with off-roading, necessitating 4wd when doing so. Those usually occur in more remote areas, unless hunting for a good burger joint or fishing for compliments.
