1. You’ve got a rooftop tent, heavy, and rear drawers, heavy. Previous owner “thinks” he did a suspension upgrade. Fact: previous owner did not. You are hitting bump stops with original springs. Chuck the Kings in.
2. Depends on condition. King springs are suited nicely with Koni shocks.
3. See 1.
4. What tyres are you running? Low profiles will shake your fillings out. What pressure are you running? Get some good 70/75% sidewall tyres and learn when to pump up tight and when to air off softer. Different conditions/scenarios require different pressures (yes that’s a thing with 4x4s).
5. Generally not for 2” but best practice would say yes.
6. If you’re not experienced with 4x4s book in with a good 4x4 shop for a complete pre-trip check. If you’re staying on the bitumen you won’t get into too much trouble but if you’re going remote you need to know the ins and outs of it and be super conservative.
Thanks mate, my tyres are Toyo Open Country M/T LT285/75R16, I usually run them at around 35psi for on-road and drop them down to 25 for off-roading.
