Eibach Stage 2R vs. Dirt King MT Trail Runner (2024 Tacoma)

[henry602_]

I have a 2024 Tacoma with stock suspension and a ReadyLIFT 2.5" leveling kit. I've been running it for about 20,000 miles with no issues. The truck is on SCS wheels with a -10 offset wrapped in 35" tires, and it sees a mix of on-road and off-road use (nothing too extreme).
I'm now looking to upgrade to a proper suspension kit and am trying to decide between two options:

1. Eibach Stage 2R with either Icon Tubular Delta Joint UCAs or Dirt King 4130 UCAs
2. Dirt King MT Trail Runner Kit with Dirt King 4130 UCAs and 1" rear coil springs kit

I've heard a lot of good things about the Eibach Stage 2R, especially for the price, but I haven't seen many builds running the Dirt King MT Trail Runner Kit.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with either setup. What are your thoughts, and which option would you recommend?
Thanks!

I think the Dirt King setup will be better, but it is also a good bit more expensive.

You might want to wait for the Stage 3R; they are coming out soon and are a 2.5 in body instead of a 2 inch body. The 6112 is known as on of the best bangs for your buck and is out right now as well (also 2.5 inch body). Both should last a lot longer without a rebuild than your fancier options (Kings, Fox etc.).

I think even the 3R is a steel body, which may not be ideal for some.

I went back and forth between eibach and dirt king for several months. Then on Memorial Day I found a killer deal on the OEM Trd lift kit. Too hard to pass up.
