Hello all, I'm after a bit of advice... I recently bought an already converted 2013 Toyota Hilux Extra Cab tipper. I am extremely happy with it as it ticks all the boxes for my business. However- the suspension has not been upgraded. This really isn't the end of the world as even with a full load of chip there's still a bit of space above the bump stops. The problem is handling and clearance. With a fair bit of weight on the back I've ground out the tow bar on a couple of steep driveways and a weigh bridge or two. I gather there are a few options out there - extra leaf springs/airbag upgrade etc. I don't want to stiffen the ride when unloaded... Are airbags the way to go? Have you had your suspension upgraded? What are the pros and cons and rough prices of each option? Many thanks!

I have a regular cab L200 with tipping chip box, when i have around 2-3 cube of chip in the back i feel a little floaty driving at speeds above around 40mph. I have 5+1 leaf springs on the rear but standard suspension bits all around i think, what can anyone recommend to aid the drive of this truck with weight in the back, it doesnt feel great! maybe get some even more heavy duty rear springs and heavy duty shocks on the rear?
