My truck spends 70% of its time on washboard forest roads. My truck feels like a buckboard on most of the forest roads of Arizona/Utah. Previous owner (a coworker) towed a trailer with the truck, and I think he installed cheap Monroe shocks for towing. I'll have to dig through the book of receipts he gave me.
I do not tow, but I've got a fiberglass Snugfit shell. I'm running 235/75r15 tires on a 1998 SR5 2.7l 5spd with 3.56 gears. I have no interest in doing gears and bigger tires due to cost, mileage and age of vehicle. The truck is painfully slow, the most I could do is make it handle better so it at least can maintain its momentum! The most I'd like to do is springs/shocks (no lift) and a set of wheels with more backspacing/offset. I might consider a mild .5" lift in the rear with softer springs to level when loaded.
