They're on sale right now so figured it might be a good time to finally replace the stockies I've been surviving with.

And it's the exact set I put on my truck a few months ago. It rides better on and off road with it.

I’ve said it 1000x and I’ll keep saying it. Go with a 3” lift.
You will NEVER regret it.

I just don't need a lift though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The penalty for getting a lift when I don't need one is poor(er) MPG, excessive wear and tear on drivetrain components, and issues with parking garages (I have the safari package rack on the roof, already making it a challenge).

Just a headsup if you are going to use Terrafirma suspension bits, ALWAYS spray them with a rattle can CLEARCOAT before installation.
And unfortunately it doesn't matter what climate you live in TF paint is a joke and the parts RUST FAST.
Clearcoat helps prevent this for sure & you'll be glad you took the extra time to do it.

THIS!!!
I really need to remove my TF springs and shocks to clean up the rusty bits and clear coat the lot.
I didn't have any problems with rust while in Georgia. Now in the UK, my whole underside and bumpers are corroding quickly!

If you don’t need lift have you considered just replacing with stock?

Then pick your favorite flavor of shocks to go with it.
