hi all.
well it has been about 8 months with the EFS 2 inch lift kit in the patrol. i have the performance pack (20% firmer than standard).
with nothing in the patrol (unloaded), it gives a firm ride, and with a few corrugations and speed bumps, it is shocking (pardon the pun).
The whole 4wd seems to jump up and down, especially the front end, to the point i would say the engine is trying to jump out of the engine bay.
loaded, the patrol rides a lot better.
well, the rear end likes it better. but the front still gets the same response.
i am putting it down to 'close to standard weight' in the front (I have a alloy bull bar, spotties and dual battery).
the intention for the
suspension upgrade was to get the 20% firmer to cater for a steel bull bar and winch on the front.
i know it will be a 'suck it and see' kind of approach, but i was wondering if anyone has experienced the harsh firm ride in the front and regained some comfort once the winch and bull bar was in place?
sorry for the long winded question, but i hope it would pay off in setting the scene.
