Just bought a rear Kaymar bar with the wheel Holder etc etc for my 2004 Hilux..Put the OME shocks on and now the vehicle is level..I haven't driven it yet to see if the shocks allow it to go up a little bit more (is this possible ???)...If not i think when i load
the tub,roof rack up it may sag a bit ????...Now
suspension guru's what would be the best way to combat this from happening..
I do spend a bit of time in The High Country and surrounding areas etc etc
Look at Kaymar Pics

If possible you want about a third of your
suspension travel as sag this way as you come to a hole or dip in the road your wheel can drop in to it and not your whole car. Also ask the person selling the shocks what ratio compression to rebound are your shocks, ideally you want around 70 rebound and 30 compression. your springs take the compression when you drive into a hole and the shock dampens the the speed of this. Rebound controls the amount the spring reflex's which if not enough can bounce you up into the air.
The harder your springs the more rebound you need other wise you get a pogo stick effect.
