Suspension Sag with Bullbar + Accessories?

[Looseunit69 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Looseunit69]

Hi all, first post

I have a '23 GXL arriving soon and am deciding on a few accessories before delivery

Summit bullbar
Dual batt setup
Solis spotties

How do these go with front end suspension sag @ stock? Considering the ARB Alloy bar also

Drive 95% on road, few weekend trips on corrugated dirt and beach driving

You will find the factory spring rates here https://www.pradopoint.com.au/forum/...sion-Database=

Add up the weights of your accessories.
By assuming that weight acts over the front springs only you can calculate the approximate compression of the front springs.

After fitting a summit bar & a second battery on my 2018 build VX front suspension drop was 12-15mm.
I temporarily fitted a pair Kaon 6mm spacers on the strut tops before upgrading the suspension, 6mm spacers "lift" the front 12mm due to the front suspension geometry. Not a long term solution in my opinion but okay for a short term solution to ride height.
