Hi, I have about 70k miles on my Big Dog shocks (not the huge ones) springs, torsion bars, and sway bay rebuild. I did the ball joints about 5k ago. The truck has gradually started to feel pretty soft and is wallowing in turns. I have a 12k winch, bull bar bumper and drawers. What should I be refreshing first? Shocks? Open to ideas, been a minute since I've reviewed the latest recommended suspension components and would appreciate any input. Big Dog? Ironman? I have about 225k on the truck. Thank you.

Is ToughDog same as Big Dog? Of all the suspension kits I had the opportunity to test in the past, TD is #2 in my list after Koni Raid. Day and night difference from stock suspension on a Hilux, LC200, LR Disco1, Ranger, etc. And I would go this route if one day I toss my AHC out and go for a conventional suspension system in my LX.

I recommend double checking the settings on the rear shocks. I recently felt my truck was getting a bit wallowy. I discovered one of the shocks was set to the soft setting I’ll run on washboards. Last time I adjusted them I apparently turned one side the wrong way.
BTW, I think we might be out of luck on getting new Tough Dogs in the states. Trail Tailer stopped carrying them.
