I've been using using TerraFirma suspension kits since day one and now I'd like to give something else a try. I'd like to have a 3.5-4 inch suspension lift with really robust shocks and coils in the rear to compensate for a fully loaded cargo Bay and towing a small Jeep trailer long term. I understand that there are a number of different suspension kits available from TerraFirma, Old Man Emu, Bilstein, Procomp, Fox etc. I also know that some of you folks mix and match various suspension components for your specific needs. In South Africa and Australia they actually have certified 4x4 outfit shops where you can bring in your suv/truck and have a team of experienced folks asses your specific needs, weigh your vehicle then put together a suspension system to best suit your needs. You tell them how much you plan on carrying for weight and how you intend on driving your vehicle and they do the rest. Seems like we don't have that luxury here. You pretty much just source a suspension lift kit that meets your budget and be on your way.*
I'm not interested in extreme rock crawl capabilities or flashy colored shocks and springs. This time around I want to do things right. I plan on buying a Jeep Trailer and loading it up so I don't want the back end of my truck to sag or hang low like you commonly see with pickup trucks that are towing. Kinda wish I had rear air suspension but alas. I don't care how firm or bouncy the ride is so long as I have a handsome lift and a stable truck while towing.
So what would you folks recommend?
