ARB Summit Suspension Question

I have 19 Pro with an ARB Summit bumper and a 10k winch. Currently running the Toyotech 700 springs on stock suspension. I know it’s heavy, but I didn’t think it would ride as stiff as it does. Any suggestion's on a set up thats more comfortable? Thanks

 

Basicly, the springs should be as tender as to set the ride height. Speaking of which, how much lift do you have? The higher the lift, the less down travel you have. What happens then is that you end up bottoming out during normal driving which translates into a harsh ride.

I’d start with finding your lift setting. Try to get it down to as low as you like (realize that the lift is for looks with a stock setup, it doesn’t help clearing larger tires).

See if 2” lift works for you, the harsh ride should get better.

Good luck!

I believe the kit is 2”. I was considering just replacing it all. I did not consider the shocks may be the problem, I just focused on the springs.

 

I don’t know the specifics of your rig, but a harsh ride is often related to lift when running a stock setup. It may not be the shocks per se. Do consider the suspension as a whole, you may discover that the 200 +/- added to the front is outside the performance capabilities of your stock setup.

I’ve had excellent results with Accutune and for some builds you need tuned shocks with more tender springs to balance the system.

My setup is not stock, so I don’t think my experience is completely comparable to yours. YMMV! Good luck
