I think I'd like to bury my OEMs too! (No, I'll sell them here, I know most here love them).
Mine has 64k miles, no leaks per mechanic.
Tires: 255/55/18 Falken Ziex S/TZ-04, 95% tread remaining, @32 psi.
"Push" test on front fender moves maybe 1/2", it's virtually solid.
Rear has maybe just a touch more movement.
I couldn't even call either a "bounce".
JollyRoger I'm an on-road AND off-road gal....and live on a dirt/rocky road. I plan on going off-road some, but not much....we use the lifted FJ with the OMEs for our off road adventures.

I looked at Independent4x.com. Don't really know where to start. What brand/model should I look at for a softer ride?
Any suggestions? HELP!! :
