ARB Summit Bull Bar / suspension upgrade

[Jeppy83 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Jeppy83]

Hey guys,

I’m thinking of installing a ARB Summit Bull Bar to my new Prado GXL 2022. Will the stock suspension be sufficient? I’m not going to add a winch anytime soon. The Prado will be mostly used as a family car, driving on the beach and through some trails for camping on occasions. Nothing to crazy.

oh does anyone know how much the summit ball bar actual weigh? I have a hard time finding it online.

thanks

Even with just the bar it will sag in the front fairly quickly.

No, the suspension will not be ok. The bar weighs about 70kg from my research.
Even the Toyota alloy bar will sag the springs to some degree

Thanks Daniel. That’s good to know

From memory the front standard springs will drop close to 15mm with a ARB summit bar
