Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and will shortly be receiving my new D40 dual cab ST.
It will be fitted with a Obrien 6'6" alloy tray, and will be mainly used as a work vehicle carrying about half a ton of constant weight (including tray). it will also be used to take the family on a hand full of offroad trips a year.
My dilemma now is what kind of suspension upgrade to go for to help carry this weight but also give decent ride on long trips away, with out the need of a kidney belts.
Options i have looked at are; rear air bags, but have been told are crap for offroad, but are reasonabaly cheap (about $800) in comparrison to the other alternative which is a full front and rear suspension upgrade including a 40mm lift with 400kg constant load leafs (about $2300).
Would love to hear from anyone who has been in the same situation, or anyone who may a different solution.
Cheers
