Hi,
On Friday I asked, but got no response to the paragraph below on suspension. Thought I would try again. The Dblcab is already fun to drive; I just would like it to be more fun. (I want it all and I want it now! hehehe)
I have a 1985 Doublecab. Are the springs the same as in a Vanagon?
I have 200,000+ miles and am going to overhaul the suspension. Anyone have any suggestions for what worked great for them, and did it meet all of their expectations? Sway bars, springs, wheel spacers or what? I'd like to corner better and also lower the Dblcab about 1 1/2" but keep as smooth a ride as possible, for a truck. Is this possible? I already installed new Bilstein gas shocks.
