I have recently purchased a 1993 LandCruiser II Prado and have noticed a lot of rear sag when it is loaded. The previous owner had a set of new 33" BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain...and I want to keep that tire size. However, I do get some tire rub on one of the wheel wells when I have passengers or weight in the rear of the vehicle. The wheels also slightly rub a control arm when the stering wheel is cranked in either direction.
I have looked into replacing the coil springs with some that are offered through ARB / Old Man Emu. Does anyone have any experience with this particular product? How does it affect the driving agility of the vehicle?
I will be driving this vehicle on some winding, narrow roads that are littered with potholes and wandering cows. I really do not want to raise the hight of the rig, thus raising the center of gravity and making it more tipsy. I would like to increase it's agility and sturdiness.
Would a set of rims with an offset/inset cure the problem with the wheel rub on the suspension while adding a wider stance to make it not so tipsy?
Any advise or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
