Wheel travel, on my Navara !

Got a few friends with those cars and its a real limitation with most ute types.
So often we look at little video clips as to why one doesn't get up the hill and sure enough its usually a front inside wheel lifting.

Sounds like yours is to hard standard and there may be a solution. Soften it off and use air bags to increase when loaded.

As a general rule there is not a lot u can do , but its worth remembering that suspension and wheel travel is the sum of the components and a tyre can be 1/3 of the whole so think about taller skinny tyres tyres that can have more flex.

Many give up and just get lockers.

Bucky,
I have an 02 Navara & had the same problems. To fix the ride I had an extra leaf added to the rear springs & had them reset so that they don't hit the overload spring so early. The bloke at the spring works told me this was a common problem with these type of utes. I also wound up the torsion bars to get a lift of about 2". The original shocks are pretty poor & a set of Koni's all round fixed the ride & handling problems.

Cheers

I had a '00 ford courier which had the same torsion bar/leaf combo as the navara and I too wanted better ride, more travel and ended up spending $2k on an OME full kit which did the job well ($2k worth,jury's still out)
Got more travell at the back but theres f*** all you can do to the front(except stiffness)
Yep, you can wind the hight up but you will NOT get any more travell

Trade it in........hahahahahaha

You can have my rocket for a lazy $75K ....walkin/walkout. I'll even load the engel up with your favourite brand of brown lemonade. hahahahaha
