Most likely a misfire...pull codes -
So I took the truck 11 miles from Corolla to Carova Beach, NC all the way to the Virginia line. I have to say the new suspension is fantastic. On the way up I did not air down but the grabber atx had no issues. Drove near the dune line to get a lot of ruts and harder impacts and while you could definitely feel the impacts there was no perceived bottoming like with the ranchos. On the way back down aired down to 20 psi and crossed the dune line multiple times exploring the neighborhoods. Absolutely flawless experience.

Yes you can. Someone else on this forum has done that very thing. It's a bit of a trade-off in my opinion if you're looking for the articulation and the ride then you go with the springs in the DSSV kit. If you're willing to give up some articulation and keep payload capacity then you stick with the factory springs. Not sure on the ride quality in that situation. You would have to drive both of our trucks back to back and see which one suits you.

Too many variables. But if I was going for the ultimate in longevity and I was going to drive it like a half ton pickup... I would buy a 3/4 ton gasser. If I had to buy a half ton and I had to keep it for that long and I wanted no possibility of malfunctions or okay that's not possible but much less possibility. I would go for a work truck trim with no bells and whistles to break. Maybe find a naturally aspirated V6.

My 2015 (for my 2500) had the roll-x and it lasted three years until I sold the truck with minor degradation to the felt on the underside. I never treated this one. In June '21 I purchased the upgraded x4s for my 20 AT4 and after about one year noticed that the vinyl seemed to be wearing abnormally with no treatment. At the time I was going through the local scratch and shine several days a week. After the warranty swap in Aug 22 I started treating the vinyl quarterly and mostly hand wash. No issues since then.

2019+ ZR2/AT4X Multimatic DSSV shocks and struts, brand new

That's a tough one. 22's on a truck typically suck on anything short of something with mag-ride due to reduced sidewall. In order to install this you must have the at4 suspension first then upgrade to the zr2/at4x. Costly unless you get all the parts used. To get you as close as possible before you buy...drive an at4x understanding that it does have 18s then drive a at4 with 18s. Pay close attention to how the trucks respond to hard braking, hard cuts to the wheel and normal impacts. I think you'll find that you have less nose-dive, flatter cornering and a less disturbed ride with the at4x suspension compared to the at4. Worth it? Depends on how obsessive you are. Positively love my truck now. I can drive fast on horrible roads and my wife doesn't perceive anything except the speed warning. Fly across railroad tracks with little regard to anything. I will be switching back to factory size/weight tires to restore fuel economy/performance lost due to high unsprung mass (LT305/55r20 weigh almost 60lbs each compared to factory @ 40lbs). Haven't towed anything yet but I think the sag will be noticeable with the softer springs.
