Hi all,
Just bought my first Prado today (GXL V6) and have some spare cash burning a hole in my pocket at the moment (I've never really bothered with modding my cars in the past). Ive read a few of the suspension threads but got a bit overwhelmed with the amount of information and kind of gave up after a while so sorry for asking a very common question, but I thought i might make it a bit more specific to ease the repetition.
Just a bit of background first. I'm not a 4x4 guru but I'm competent in soft stuff and have been 4x4ing since I got my licence 20 years ago. My rig will be predominently used in WA to go surfing and fishing using mildly rocky backtracks and soft sand beach driving (I work away so not much daily commuting and maybe one "bush" trip away up north per year).
Now bearing in mind I usually just get the biggest tyres my car could handle without rubbing, is it worth getting a suspension lift or should I just keep to the tyres only? I don't load the car up to the max for trips away (no fridge, roof top tent etc.) and at the moment it's unlikely I'll get a bullbar but may get a flat rack on the roof.
Hopefully this wasn't too painful being the 100000000001 time this question has been asked.
Cheers
