I am looking at suspension options for my 09 GX with 108k on it. It will mostly be a daily driver, with some dirt road and rocky trail use for camping trips.
Right now, my build out plan is a dual battery and hidden winch in the front, cabinetry and a fridge (a basic kitchen setup) in the back, and 33s. The cabinetry with probably live full time in the back. We're trying to keep it somewhat stock looking on the outside, even if we're tinkering around underneath the chassis and under the hood.
I am leaning toward a medium OME setup (since I won't be adding much armor) to get me started with a bit more clearance and room for 33s. However, I frequently read that the OME setup rides harsh without a bit of load in the back to smooth the ride. When people say "you need some weight in the back", how much weight is that? If I have a 125 lbs of drawers, shelves, recovery gear, and tools in the back, will that do it, or are we talking more like 400lbs of supplies for a weeklong overland trip?
