Looking at a couple of different Suspension setups.
Slee and OME. Would like some FEED BACK (personal opinions) on the HD Suspensions and/or lifts.
Wife's LC but will be hauling camper and sometimes my 20ft trailer with landscaping equipment.
Right now as soon as we hook up either trailer it bottoms out.
Thank you in advance!!!
 
Lots of threads on this. Try searching a bit then report back with any specific questions you have. Have you considered rear airbags as well?
 
I would characterize my LC use as an 'infrequent' or perhaps unintentional off roader, which means it's I'm inconsistent though bordering on recklessness when I do, so I didn't feel I would get a lot of ROI out of a big suspension upgrade. So mine is certainly only ONE way to look at the scenario, but I bought the OME light suspension kit, which is just the OME springs, shocks and torsion bars.

After 140k miles, it improved ride quality noticeably. I now hit curbs, speed bumps and crawl over obstacles with confidence. With the torsion bars cranked, it gave it a nice balance with a very small lift.

A lift kit would have been of little use to me, it just didn't fit my needs, but I have been very happy with the OME upgrade.
 
Here's where I ordered my parts. I got the light kit. http://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/100-t...uspension-for-100-series-toyota-land-cruiser/

I think I could have handled the medium in retrospect, but it's hard to know and I have no regrets. The heavier setup would be too much for my needs and a lift would be more than I need, as I don't traverse boulders, but I do torture my vehicle from time to time on difficult roads.
