Hi
My IFS 4runner has a kerb weight of 1900kg and a Gross Vehicle Weight of 2510kg. Now, everything being equal, this gives me a small payload of 610kg which is not enough for my requirements.

So I had an Old Man Emu suspension kit fitted (shocks and springs) which jacked the suspension up by about 50mm - what I don't know is this: how much has the GVW increased?

I know this cannot be an exact measurement but, what can I safely assume the new GVW to be? Is 10%, 20% or even a 30% increase in GVW a reliable guide?

Many thanks,

enzo
