suspension

I just picked up my D40 last week, got it all fitted out for work (sparky) and am now wondering if the stock rear suspension is a bit soft, I recon I have less than 150kg on the back. Its a D40 king cab with alloy tray, trundle, ladder bars and tow bar if that matters. If I have to uprate the rear then would I be best off taking advantage & lifting it? (probably won't be doing too much off road though)

Is it sagging or is the ride too soft?

I'm carrying a constant 300kg+, Went for king springs, extra heavy duty, which gave me about 70mm of rear lift, Is pretty firm won't give a lot of axel twist offroad but your not after that anyway. Of course you will have to get new shocks and brake hoses as well....think they cost me around $800.

doesn't seem to sag too much, maybe ever so slightly so, front end doesn't seem to feel light round corners either, is just when I jump in the back it really seems to drop where as my rodeo didn't. Good & comfy though!
