I bought it off another forum ... brand new and in plastic still with all bolts.
I am tempted to get shorter gears ... cos 3.23:1 with the auto is a dog .. and when loaded up doesn't help either.
That's what I found ... also in current models ... XLS has same ground clearance as XR. Also what I got my suspension done I found it was the same. Although XLS can be optioned with 1-tonne as well.
I found out the hard way they aren't worth much ... that's why I am going to keep mine and do more work.
What you have to remember going from 1T suspension to lower suspension ... and wheel size change is that it can handle 1T loads. I know the Territory wheels can handle it ... but there aren't any tyres out on the market to comply with the 100 load rating. I guess I was lucky to have the factory sports suspension.
I think my rear leaves were $350 for the pair ... or thereabouts ... that was new from Pedders ... I am sure Kings make similar/same leaves for the same price.
Put it this way ... I am not supposed to run anything more than 650kg payload ... but I have actually had nearly double that in the back of it before ... interesting to drive ... but it handled it OK.
I guess it depends on what sort of load you carry with it .... I do a lot of country road driving in mine ... and it's not harsh on the rough stuff ... and I still have clearance for ridges in the road, etc.
