We own a 2008 Prado Grande which we purchased new.
A while back we removed the rear jump seats and installed an Outback two drawer and cargo barrier system, Drop slide and ARB, 40L fridge/freezer. What I didn't realise was the weight of the drawer and cargo barrier system, which turned out to be 135kg all up. + the weight of the drop slide.
Straight up this caused suspension travel problems with the rear air bags bottoming out, even going over a parking lot speed bump would cause the rear suspension to bottom out.
We installed a set of 2" lift air bags in the rear from the Air Bag Man which did improve the travel but has not solved the problem.
In addition to this I now have to have the suspension setting on Sport mode to help dampen the compression of the shocks to try and stop the rear bottoming out.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and possibly found a fix.
Cheers Mark
