Do You Carry Weight in Your 4Runner to Smooth Out Ride?
I previously owned A 2001 4Runner and then purchased a 2011 Jeep Wrangler two door. I regretted selling my 3rd Gen so I sold the Jeep and bought another that is identical to the one I sold.
Like the first one, I installed OME 881/906 springs. I found the 906s to be to stiff and tall so I switched them out for 2007 progressive rate FJ coils. Same issues.
I found that both springs rode smoother and better when I had at least 160 pounds in the back over the wheel wells - the equivalent of somebody riding in the backseat.
Generally the Jeep drove smoother and felt more planted and less skittish than my 3rd Gens.
Curious to know if anyone else has deliberately put weight in the back of your 3rd Gen to smooth out the ride, and if so what springs are you running and how much weight?
