New Hilux Suspension for a more comfortable ride.!

Postby terrafirma on Wed, 13 Feb 2019 10:39 +0000

Ive been a Hilux owner all my life. Can't go past the build quality, re-sale value and reliability but as I've gotten older I can go past DPF issues and unladen ride quality. The Hilux is constantly being downgraded for it's harsh suspension so I think this topic is worth discussing. Putting 200KG of sand in the back is not the answer, that's caveman stuff. I have the new model and am about to roll it over again and wan't to explore suspension options that will soften the ride. I only tow a 2.2 Tonne boat occasionally and rarely go off road. Who are the best after market companies to talk to and what can I realistically expect?

I love my Ultimate Suspension. Custom tuned for me not one size fits all.

X2 for ultimate

I had it in my 07 space cab and again I had a custom set up.
I was lucky that where I worked I was able to give the guys there my overall and axle weights so they could set it up for what I wanted.

In saying that my current ute is a 17 and has OME BP51’s and for me I do love the adjustability of the shock both rebound and compression are adjustable to driving style and load level.
Just make sure your springs are correct for the weights otherwise you will just have as rough ride or worse then the original.
