My ute was purchased new in 2007.
An aluminium canopy was fitted and diy fitout followed.
I tow an Ultimate camper with a low towball weight.
In all a light load given the type of vehicle.
When new the Lancruiser had an ideal nose down attitude when loaded with camper attached.
Within six months the Landcruiser was level with no change to carried weight.
Airbags were fitted to achieve a higher ride height with 25 psi. pressure.
Within four years airbag pressure had to be increased to 50 psi. to achieve the original ride height and as a result the comfort level was seriously harsh and without airbag inflation bump stop clearance was just 45mm.
Now with Sax 3sds the clearance is 110mm. and no airbags with the same load.
With more flexibility axle steering also occurs and results in improved handling.
