Do I need a lift?

Guys

Have recently bought a 2014 kakadu and have started the mods - so far dual battery, ECB bullbar, Lightforce driving lights, safari snorkel, 12v and merit connection in rear (for fridge), andersen plug for camper trailer, spare set of 17 inch rims with some Dick Cepek fun country attached. Am looking at installing a winch weighing between 40-45 kgs- my only issue is will that tip me over to requiring a suspension lift? We will be towing a camper trailer with between 160-200kg ball weight. Your views appreciated!

Cheers

Yes definitely need some beefier springs for the front but not necessarily a lift. Basically, you need standard height springs to leave it up from the sagging with all that weight over the front.

The rears will self level in the Kakadu when you hook up the camper trailer.

This may sound shallow, see how the camper sits, I have a 40mm lift and my camper sits perfectly level on the drawbar. If you decide to stay standard i ágree with the above comments.

^^^^^ what he said.

i dont have a lift. the only thing that ever gets hung up is the tow bar but i view it as a rock slider for the rear.....

What springs should I get? Are Kings the way to go?
