6th gen Trd off road premium rough ride suggestions?

[lakerunner]

We love our new 4 runner for everything except the handling/jolts of small bumps/potholes. Coming off a grand Cherokee and also own a. Highlander and there is no comparison with the jeep ride. I know people say body on frame and its not a luxury car but it should be able to handle small bumps better. It is good on the expressway handling pavement cracks at speed. It has the red Bilstein shocks. I’ve checked the tire pressure at 32 psi. It only has about 350 miles and people say it may get smoother? Anyone have success with anything else?

I'm at 3200-ish miles and it hasn't changed much, in my opinion. The general consensus is that the OR/ORP suspension (red Bilsteins) is stiffer than we'd all expect for an "off-road" trim.

I'm 15k miles and 14 months in and I am going to swap the suspension out for the TRD 2.5" lift kit, or the Old Man Emu MT64 kit to soften the ride.

It's a common complaint. Even going to 17's won't make it much more smoother. Suggest getting new shocks and struts. I plan on going with the Fox 2.0 later this year.

I remember getting a rental Tacoma off-road and it was very similar ride. I took it the ORP rode just like a truck.

You are comparing a truck to cars. It will never be as soft riding as a car. You can swap the suspension and try 17 inch tires with more sidewall, but it still wont ride the same.

Also came from a Grand Cherokee, agree the stock ride is rougher. Once I switched the tires (Toyo AT3 285/70/17) it definitely got better. Still not quite on par with the Jeep, but definitely an improvement over small bumps and dips.
