Hello folks. I have just taken delivery of a new NX Pajero GLX, trading my 2010 NT manual diesel GLX, making this the last of 5 we have owned. Cooper tyres were installed on the way home from the car dealer. I am trying to sort out what to do in regards to the suspension with this one, following experience with the previous.
Some background, on buying an Evernew poptop van in 2015, 1800kg. empty, 2400 ATM, we had ARB install a full OME suspension in the NT. We were advised to get the 300kg. springs, rather than 100 or 200, as our prime concern was to have the car and van sit level, especially when stopping for a single night. I also had no wish to use a WDH. This was an excellent setup when towing and on rough roads. However, around town, or anywhere with no van and minimal load, the ride would shake the fillings out of the teeth and the back door.
We have no desire to repeat this, but would like to be able to keep the van level when on the Hitchmaster DO35 hitch. Does anybody have any suggestions, based on experience, as to suspension set-ups that would achieve level towing and decent ride when not towing?
Many thanks in advance for any ideas.
Paul
