Landcruiser 200 suspension - Upgrade?

Hi All

I have been lucky enough to have a LC200 supplied to me for work. As I live in a remote area, the cruiser has a few extras which no doubt add to the weight - Steel Bull bar, full size roof rack, dual wheel carrier. A lot of our driving is done on dirt roads, with all that comes with that - corrugations, potholes, washouts depending on the season. The vehicle is sometimes used to tow a trailer or is at least packed up with lots of gear in the back. . Considering the weight in accessories and the fact it is used mainly on dirt, I do have a question regarding the suspension.

Is a suspension upgrade totally necessary? or is it just a luxury? I do have the feeling the rear end is sagging a bit, especially when towing.

I would love to know some opinions or experiences on this. Any suggestions of brands or set ups? I am not at all interested in creating a monster truck but would like to see the vehicle live a long life.

Cheers

Luke
