Cheap aftermarket will have you replacing in a couple years since the quality won't be there and might yellow faster or have condensation inside. That's for you to decide.
Best option would be buying either new OEM or searching for a used one, but install isn't that hard to cost $600
As someone mentioned with passing it down... I live somewhat near by, lol.
personally I wouldn't get rid of the 200, it's very reliable and you'll have something when the Benz is in the shop
Decided to give up the broverlander life. Need the best chance of "decent" mpg I can get for a road trip. One of the CV boots had grease on it which isn't reassuring since they're pretty new. Could find the crack around there though.
As if it's back to stock
As others have mentioned helper bags will definitely help. Stock rear springs are just over loaded, you could swap those for stiffer but then would have a rough ride unloaded
Leave it be like others have mentioned. Don't be
Have you tried the 80/20 bars? They are flat, I've got 3 of em and it's level surface front to back, not like the stock bars with the bow in them
From what I remember searching that's accurate. I believe OZ wheels came in +40 offset? You could also run spacer in the rear only when you tundra swap
If you're worried about departure angle and scraping your rear you're definitely going to keep smashing up those steps and potentially making your situation worse
