no I'm not buying it only for the suspension. I like the bigger tires
and the rear differential locking. It's half for mild offroading and
half because I like the beafier look. So should I get the TRD package
or should I do everything after market?

How about the sr5 package? Does the chrome get all scratched up when
you go off roading?

Thanks,

Well you can get better tires and shocks aftermarket, the locker you
would have a hard time getting something comparable aftermarket even at
twice the price. I don't know what the SR5 package includes these days,
but if it's Toyota chrome, and it's not plastic, it will rust off an be
replaced with a painted part later on anyway.

If you plan on doing any off road driving the TRD package is very nice.
Although.....I've heard that you can buy a NON TRD truck and just ask them
to swap the TRD rear axel with the locking Diff for very cheap.
