Have a look at Candy Canvas too if you are thinking about a tray back.
Either suspension system is fine, as long as it is rated for the load. If you are after the best ride, consider a full Airbag setup too. It would allow you the luxury of levelling your camper when you set up, as an added bonus to the excellent on-road handling.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
Sort of got the impression load wise the combination of front coil rear leaf was better.
I had considered the airbag addition.
Yes looked at Candy Canvas. At least they are closer than the others
I have looked at others but discounted them for one reason or the other. layout being one, also I don't want too much over cab height.
Some at that price are called "off road" but end up being an "on the side of the road" unfortunately.
In the long run as many tracks don't allow trailers it seems a better move to consider either a deliberate mod of a wagon or go for a slide on with a tray top vehicle.
At present the Nissan tray tops are suck with their 3l CRD vs Toyota with their 70Series Tough options for a Nissan person..
