I just purchased a '20 HE with 111k miles on the clock and while the suspension feels in good shape, I plan on needing to replace the factory struts in short time. The issue is (and let the ribbing begin), I don't want to make the truck any higher than it is. The HE is already comically raked & way too tall in the rear w/o the 3rd row (I thought Toyota used a softer/shorter rear spring w/o a third row?, doesn't look like it). At 5'11", getting into the front seat takes a hop and I'm afraid I'll rub my left lower seat cushion leather away (maybe I have short legs). I don't like the look or the added weight of rock sliders either, this car already drinks gas. In all honesty, I would like to take alleviate the rake issue by lowering the back instead of using a spacer/level kit up front. Putting a spacer or level kit up front would just make it harder to jump into driver's seat. Any suggestions? Also, I assume just going with OEM struts or some Bilstein's will fulfill my needs? I'm not off-roading. I get this is a first world problem, but any advise would be appreciated, even the sarcastic kind. Thanks
