G'day all,
We've got a GXL which tows a single axle offered van, with about 250kg on the ball. Unsurprisingly there is a fair bit of rear end sag. I've put in firestone airbags (without Kevlar sleeves) and we use a WDH. I'm pretty keen to ditch the WDH if possible as it is completely unsuited to any offroad work and a bit of a pain.
I rang Pedders today who say they can install HD springs in the rear combined with softer springs. They reckon the Fortuner from factory is the opposite - soft springs (hence the sag) and firm shocks (hence the firm ride). Just wondering if anyone else has crossed this bridge before I lash out the cash.
In summary, we don't want a lift at all, don't do a great deal off offroad work, but do tow and use it as a daily drive. In a perfect world I'm looking to smooth the ride out and stiffen the rear springs when a load is on the back - it seems they are mutually exclusive.
Cheers!
