Time to change the springs again?

I appreciate what you are saying about loosing flex and also increasing strain on other components but so far as it goes fdor my use 95% of it is on road and the rest is on terrain that for many years previously was conquered by subaru estate cars so it's not exactly taxing the ability of the suspension to keep the wheels down. Everything I carry in the Jimny is boxed and removable and for security is taken out every night but I have started to notice that the factory kit is getting rather tired, even empty it isn't quite as high at the back as it is at the front anymore and with even the basic daily kit it can occasionally find the bump stops if i forget about a speed bump. Like I said earlier i don't want to fill the back with a tonne of anything, I just wanted to stiffen it up so it is easier for it to carry what it does. Essentially if the maximum axle weight compressed the suspension an inch rather than down to thestops that has to be better?

Dave, you could always ring up a professional like pi and get a quote from them. When I was at a show last year I was talking with them about this and they offer a service where you give them the car for a fortnight and tell them what you want from it and they come back with a full custom system. You pay for the initial r&d for the first kit then they refund that and you keep the kit at retail price. I didnt because I need the car for work not having a suitable alternative but you have the beige one?

Which would make it look like a hotrod unless it was ballasted all the time. No, I will find some suitable springs to maintain the ride height but increase the load capacity.

Hmmm. I will think about it.
