So how is this for a thought.
Mine is a '97 trayback, I need to carry up to 4 drums of fuel plus all the other gear in there (gvm about 3300kg'), so the setup (with load) is:
Front: Monro pump up shocks 45psi.
Rear: Polyair bellows type air bags 50psi.
Gives me a level ride with that load, adjust pressures down when the load is off.
Toyota springs up to 79series are just hopeless, sagging after 20000km. at the best.
Air assist gives both carrying capacity and a decent ride.
I was told (with great fanfare) that front pump up shocks would destroy the front end in no time at all.
Well, its my truck so I suffer the results, but 10yrs. later on this one still waiting for disaster to happen. I actually originally fitted the whole kit to my '85 trayback, took them off when I sold it.
