Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi

I just bought a v6 120 series Prado 5 speed auto and am wondering people's thoughts on a modest suspension upgrade. I want to set the car up for touring (first trip will be Cape York). I am leaning towards 2 inch lift with bilstein shocks and lovells springs.

Just wondering what other people's thoughts and experience is?

Have a look in the members builds section of the forum. BradHilux has a Prado he just took to the Cape. I think he blew out a rear shock during hi travels, so maybe check what he has, and go from there.

Yeh I put a superior engineering 4" lift under mine with 285/70 r17 BFG km2's (33's) and went and did the cape and gulf

But yeh we had a ball and did all the harder stuff there without any problems, the shocks are remote reservoir profender shocks and were really great there on the long runs of hard corrigations and dips, i did blow a remote res line only because it was touching the chassy rail and wore through the rubber and steel braid and wore a hole in it.

Make sure you check your bump stops will dampen your suspension and stop it from bottoming out as you will need it up there as i extended my bump stops and was slamming down hard on them up there.

You will do most of the stuff up there on 2" lift but i wanted to fit 33's and have a bit more clearance.

Checkout prado point as there is heaps of info on there
