Prado suspension mods

[willo]

I am a new member driving a 92 Prado TD. I am an ozzie living in Zambia for a couple of years and needed a 4x4 'cause the roads are so bad. Not that I am doing any rock climbing in it etc, but potholes the size of small ponds etc.

Problem. The suspension is jarring and way to harsh. I need a softer ride. Do I need to change shocks or springs or both.

The electric ride adjustment has been disconnected, so it is just hard.

Thanks for forth coming help and advice.

gday willo..

aussie living in zambia? wow.. did you get lost or something? jks.. what u doin up there anyway?

anywayz - about your suspension - how easy is it to buy springs up there man?

my first instinct would be to get local knowledge and see what they have available.

if your able to get them...if you got the cash... go for RANCHO suspension and shocks.

www.gorancho.com

you can adjust the damping of the shock absorbers with the RS9000-RCX. 9 different settings and you can adjust the damping separately as there are witches for the front and the back :) think that is better than the ride adjustment already on your prado. the adjuster is optional though.. you can do without it if you wanted..

got pics of your prado?? post em up on the MEMBERS RIDES section! Id love to see it :)

zambia sounds like fun... roads sound a lot like where my familyz from in the philippinez... you really need a 4wd to deal with the roads
