That would be ace

Not a problem, just say when. I'm around evenings and most Sundays. I either works saturdays or scoot off camping.

Nice one

Not sure if I can convince the boss to try an RRT. She doesn't like heights and she says that might be a bit much..!!!! Going to have a good look at the overland show in September. If not that I will try a rear tent like a caranex

I'd be more than happy to bring it out to you so it can be opened up and you can both have a play. I'm uncomfortable with heights too and it's not a problem for me.

I'm so tempted to get a set for mine, for the lift and for making the truck a bit more stable with the RTT on it. Do you reckon they'd be up to the task?

I have had them all round since 2015, I got the +3" ones, along with the Trail master longer rear springs. I only wound the front up about 2" though, to try and prolong the life of the CV's.

Very pleased with them. They give a very good on-road ride, even towing the caravan, and worked well off road... In fact, my Body and suspension lifted truck corners better than Suz's standard one.

Good to hear, thanks.

I had 3"+pro comp ES 9000 on mine until last year.
I managed to knacker them up by running without rear bumps stops so the shocks would bottom out and eventually burst.
Have since fitted some big rubber bump stops to stop this happening again.
I always thought the ride was soft and a bit wallowy TBH.

Well this poor terrano was sold on to a guy to use it on a farm. It wasn't the welding that decided It but all the other problems that cropped up with it. Shame as it was a nice truck but financially to far gone to justify. Still, onwards and upward, looking for another to replace him.
