D40 Navara suspension

If your happy with the ride and lack of clearance then why waste the money, I would probably look at air bags before an extra leaf so as to keep the ride nice when empty.

Hey itsdave,
I got a d22 and although unloaded the rear springs are flat...... Couldn't bear the thought of loading up the tray with 850kg of fuel, water and supplies.
Went to suspension place and for $455 they would add another leaf.
Don't want to spend too much as am selling it upon my return of my next adventure

Hi Dave
I have just had TJM suspension fitted to my D40 a couple of weeks ago and barted the price down to $1645 fitted, inculding greasable shackles and urethane bushings. Went with the 40mm lift front and rear with the 150kg springs rear (intermediate), the ride is firmer but is still just as comfortable and not harsh, it has made a big difference on corrugated roads where it doesnt float around like it did before.
I was having the same problem as you with the camper on and gear in the back which was the reason for the upgrade, I also looked at an extra leaf or airbags but decided on the package as I also wanted the front lifted, and the extra clearance does make a difference, I have not had a chance to load it up for a full test yet but we are heading out for a few weeks next month so hopefully it will prove itself worth while.

Cheers, Chris

Owners name is Cal Goodman and is in Berridale NSW depending on where you are?

I had Ride Pro suspension package fitted to my D22, and the difference it made was nothing short of brilliant.

chris and debbie, could you measure how high your d40 is from centre of axle to guard on front and rear, im looking at changing mine ,but want to find out how high 40mm gives first. thanks allan

G'day Itsdave
We have one at work with canopy, _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx, fridge, lr tank & a heap of tools so it weighs in at 2.85t with a full fuel load.
We had ARB Mackay install HD suspension upgrade front & rear & are very pleased with it.
Its a great "car" to drive, highway or corrugated dirt roads.
Why don't you try getting Nissan to pay for heavier suspension? If the ute is still within its rated load then the rig as sold should have suspension to cope with it!
Good luck.

put a 2 inch tjm lift under mine with air bags made it twice the ute from standered if you have the bucks you will love the result
