Would RoadActive System part # RAS4514-SAT Fit 2017 Toyota Tacoma with 2 inch Lift

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport 2wd. The rear is very stiff compared to my other truck. Will this improve my ride quality with no load on it. I do tow jet skis so I know when I load it will help it. Also if I do a 2inch lift can I still use this KIT? If there is another product recommendation please let me know. Thanks

Suspension enhancement like the RoadActive System part # RAS4514-SAT are not designed to improve unloaded ride quality in a vehicle. At best they leave the ride quality the exact same when unloaded but give more support to the suspension when loaded.

This kit can be used on a lifted truck too.

To improve overall ride quality you would need to look into a different set of shocks for the truck.
