Also be occasionally hauling heavy scaffolding or cement whenever I need to for work.I don't know much about suspension set ups so treat me like a Dummy who wants to learn. Does the XR6 turbo come with leaf suspension or something else.I don't want to be raising it above regular height, just want extra stiffness when the loads get heavy with comfortable everyday driving.

If you have that much static weight you need to spread it across the leaves, not just on an airbag under the chassis rail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
