eh.. But thats part of the fun lol, the vehicle lifts and lowers depending on the terrain.. But I guess springs would be better.

 

I like the LR3's, alot. But even if I could get one for $10k, I wouldn't like the feeling I would get the first time I smack a tree off-road. And if I wasn't gonna take it off-road, I might as well buy an Explorer, or Trailblazer, or etc. I don't see having the capability and not using it.

 

well theres off road.. As in off the road


And then theres off road

 

Trust me, not bashing or hating on them. Here in the northeast, 99% of offroad trails are in woods. Add in a good rain(mud), and trees become truck magnets.

 

Heres my $.02...I know how to fix my DI...

 

Yu ad dirty, wet, burnt sensors/connectors are no fun.

But if it were ALL about reliability we would have distributors and carburators

 

X2. I hate washing my truck after a good day offroading only to find about 200 more scratches than I did before LOL.

I do like the LR3 but the price tag still scares me and like Spike says I know how to fix my D1. And I guess its the truck driver in me that likes the air ride suspension, hell its strong enough to put on big rigs I dont see why people dont like it in there vehicles. I see the point of wearing out or leaking but I replace them in my rig about every 3 years just because they dry rot not because there worn out or torn.

 

When I drove truck I also had air ride (my last 2 trucks had it the ones before that had springs), it was nice but you have to admit Long Haul that the air bags used on a 80,000 lbs truck are alittle more durable than those on a SUV.
I only had one bag blow out in 500,000 miles on my Frieghtliner, called Ryder and a hour later I was back on the road.

 

well I suppose springs wouldn't be hard to replace them with. Just gotta tell the computer..

And what I have always wondered. Since its Independent suspension do the tires self align or are they aligned at hwy heigh and then misaligned off road.

 

almost went and test drove one today.. Probably will over the weekend..

And I found arb makes springs. 95$ FOR FRONT 115$ FOR REARS.
