    I have a 2015 Toyota 4runner SR5 with a towing package and a leveling kit. I sometimes tow a camper and once or twice a year take it to the mountains. Most of the time its just city driving. I don't mind the driving but my wife gets car sick and going over anything like a driveway she says something. lol

    4runners drive like a truck (my opinion) but I am looking to make the ride smoother without making any major modifications.

    I feel like something that is adjustable would be needed.

    Any suggestions on specific products to accomplish this? How I make a 4runner float and not roll or bounce so much? I don't know enough to make a good decision. Also keeping the price down is always good.

    Thanks

    Well

    1. Its not a luxury car so gotta get the idea that it will ever be one out of your head or you and the wife will never be happy.
    2. Lose the leveling kit. I'm assuming that its just spacers. It does nothing to help with ride and anyone that tells you it rides the same is bullshitting you.

    Doesn't need to be expensive shit but spacers just plain suck as far as ride quality.

    I'll second the Eibach suggestion.

    Get all new Eibach shocks all around and it will ride much better. The valving on the Eibachs is really nice on the road and plenty capable offroad. The bounciness will be gone, but it won't be harsh either.

    As stated, get a full proper suspension setup. The body roll and nose dive is SO MUCH better than stock with a decent suspension setup. It’ll ride 100% better than stock.
