Hi guys, just had the 2"suspension kit (heavy duty tough dog, that goes up nearly 3") from old patrol put into the new one and got a wheel alignment, now the castor is out by 3.5 deg.....wtf....not too sure which way to go now.
The reason I got the kit in the first place (back in 07) is because when we go away on big trips we are loaded up pretty heavily and towing a camper trailer. But as there are no big trips planned for the foreseeable future maybe going back to a softer spring is a better way to go and still keep the airbags in the rear. After talking with tough dog a few years ago they said I needed more weight on the vehicle, but I don't want it that heavy all the time. It still needs to be driven to and from work and around town without bouncing the kidneys out the window, but still be able to handle weight when we do go away.
On this new patrol it has a nissan steel winch bar on the front and a 12500lb tmax winch to go into it (still on floor in shed) and a set of rear drawers with an agm battery mounted in behind the rhs drawer, and I will be mounting another agm battery behind the Lhs drawer.
