Removing my lovells as we speak, been the worst suspension I've ever had the misfortune of buying. Harsh as hell ride unless you keep hundreds of kilos in the vehicle.

i believe all/most GVM upgrades use constant load springs and not progressive
you would really need to have lots of extra kilos for GVM upgrade otherwise it will be very harsh.
you need to have bullbar+winch+battery+rear drawers etc fully loaded with gear and people close to upgraded GVM mass to make it feel normal.
if you done GVM upgrade and dont have any accessories it will be harsh
so Lowells suspension might not be an issue

This vehicle will be setup for caravan towing, so will be carrying plenty of weight, have another vehicle for other usage.

Your back will thank you. I rarely drove mine it was so harsh. Other major issue I had was they had to replace the springs 3 times in a year as they sagged massively. I cannot recommend their stuff anymore. ARB BP51 has ten times better ride quality I found.

I have GVM upgrades on multiple vehicles. Trust me, the Lovells was the worst of them all. ARB BP51 on a Prado, rides like a dream compared to my lovells equipped one, even with no accessories. KING shocks on a 200 series, even better again. Lovells is really not fantastic stuff, but they have some good marketing hype. Like offering fake GCM upgrades.

Just got a call… I thought they will start to built my prado in July but that will be not the case.

Not good at all!

Thanks for the update CrowsPort!

This is the update I got today : "it is now sitting in August production but not yet confirmed. Most VX with the standard tailgate are currently averaging around 10 months"
