Hi guys I have read through not of this suspension thread and learnt a lot but still chasing a direct comparison from what seems to be the top suspension. I am currently looking at upgrading and thought I would come to the bible of Hilux and get a direct comparison from a bunch of you guys.
I am currently running 41mm tough dog foam cell suspension with 25mm strut spacers. I also run monster ride diff drop and super pro UCA. I'm running 33" trail grapplers on 18" fuel rims. When I originally run the tough dog lift I was extremely happy with the comfort and smoothnes of the ride. When I went bigger rubber and added the spacers and UCA the comfort went out the window and now the suspension is as hard as a rock and extremely uncomfortable. I'm somewhat happy with the height but I'm looking at changing the suspension as the comfort and smoothness is unbearable. I didn't think the spacers would make any different to the ride quality but I can't think of what else it would be. (Any thoughts on what else it could be would be appreciated)
I'm quite interested in upgrading to one of the adjustable height set ups as they seem to be quite popular these days. I'm mainly interested an about a 3.5" to 4" lift(similar to what I'm running now). I don't do any extreme 4x4 but mainly light dirt tracks and beach tracks when I go camping. I just really want a better ride and more comfort as I feel every bump and divot in the road at the moment.
I'm deciding between the below options.
Monster rides - reckon adjustable height with dobinsons leafs.
Ultimate suspension
Bilstein height adjustable.
Dobinsons MRR adjustable height.
The dobinsons kit are the only ones running the seperate remote reservior. Is there any advantage to this??
The ultimate suspension also offer a lower control arm drop cross member. What advantage does the dropped cross member offer?
Any opinions or help would be much appreciated. Like I said I'm mainly looking for a better quality ride and comfort.
Cheers for any help.
