My 110 sways in the corners. To the point that some friends following me on some hard mountain corners called me because they were so convinced I was going to tip over. It is not as bad as that - I explained that it is only the body swaying, the weight is all in the lower half (chassis, running gear, engine, etc), but I've known for a while that it is probably time to address the coils/shocks.
Recently, I loaded the 110 up in anticipation of evacuating due to horrible fires in Southern Oregon. Guessing somewhere around 600+ pounds - 6 - Gallons water, Camping gear, 2 - Full Coolers, Guns (many), Ammo cans (lots), 4 - Mountain Bikes, 2 - Paddle Boards, Clothes, etc.). Noticed the rear sits pretty low (see pics). Left it loaded for a couple weeks, until we finally got some rain & it feels safe to unload the RV & 110. Drove it around the block to see if the leveler works & took another pic (I know my hub seals are leaking, I'll start another thread about that).
I'm assuming the existing springs are original & Not Heavy Duty. I'm adding a Drifta storage slider drawer in the cargo area, so there will always be more weight than stock. I plan on ordering heavy duty springs all around & new shocks. Other than a rougher ride, is there a down side to Heavy Duty?
