Speak to Tim & see if he has any solutions, are you still running a sway bar in the front?

Check tyre pressures, not sure what to recommend but my sierra was really rough and airing down helped a lot

No winch or anything just stock bar so not much up front
If that what your talking about
If spring rates you talking I have no idea what they are
I think the shocks may have packed it in big time pulled them out just before and they are very very hard to push down, front this is,
So new shocks in front and take sway bars out I thinks.

What's good shocks for it any ideas?

In my gq I toke the sway bars out got a heap more Flex, just put them back in when driving on the rd, and out when I wood go on weekend bush trips ect

i'd say the spring rates are retarded & the front struts are fine... have you spoken to ODA?

he is on here as vitzookman or something similar.

hey there again.

obviously taking sway bar off won't improve flex very much being IFS...

frozen or broken shocks won't help with a stiff front end. im running Dobinson Shocks (2"longer) in my vit, and they are quite nice.

i would say you could do with a little more weight over the front end too... i did have some trouble with getting my springs to settle in the front because of the lack of weight over the front of the vehicle :)
