ARB Sahara Bar-Front Suspension Upgrade?

[Rawfreak Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Rawfreak]

Of all the Toyota forums this is the only one that I get any decent answers on!

Another one, I am installing a Sahara Bar ex winch to start with, on my 120.

Will I be OK with standard suspension set up initially, Im sure I will get a bit of sag, as I want to wait to upgrade the suspension when I get a winch.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

It will add a few Kg's to the front end.
If you will be doing a lot of off road work then doing the suspension is a must. The OME gear is great stuff and excellent value for money.

Road Use to start

I will only use it on the road for a few months until I do the OME upgrade.

So do you reckon road handling should be OK with the standard suspension .

I have an ARB bar (without a winch) and standard suspension. There is a little suspension sag but the Prado still performs well offroad as the improved approach angle largely balances out the front-end sag. A suspension lift is planned during 2008 as Damien recommends.
