Strada 2003 suspension

[Beefy]

What's the best way to improve the ride of a 2003 strada? The pickup is used for city driving only and the ride is so bumpy.

[Freeman]

Leaf spring and shock absorber upgrade .

[kimpOy]

pick-ups are for loading hence the lift springs hence the harse ride.
stradas have the "less bumpy" ride because it's spring is under the axle, hence, more travel.

change first your shocks for aftermarket ones, they may be stiff but not harsher, and also you'll improve handling.

[Beefy]

What spring and shocks do you recommend? i want to get maximum comfort possible..

[Supierreman]

My bro got the old man emu shocks. He says nagimprove yung ride feel. Pero mas ok ata Bilstein mas mahal ng konti

[ARB]

the cheapest option you can do to improve the ride plus handling is to put two 50 kilo sand bags in the rear.

bakit sa patrol ko, i once carried 10 sacks of stones, each weighing at least 40kg, matagtag pa rin, i mean, hindi man lang nagbago yung ride nya?

[ARB]

hmmm... baka nag bottom na ang springs wala ng travel.

[boybi]

at less than 500kg nag bottom na yung springs? ano ba ang load limit ng patrol?

[Ungas]

400kgs? Sobra na yata yun sa max cargo weight, pwersado ang coils mo nun.

Even a 10kg bag could do wonders to a stock suspension setup.

[OTEP]

350kg ata check your manual.

[boybi]

ngek! 350kg lang? e sa munoz, qc ko hinakot yung mga bato, dinala ko dito sa tarlac. buti buhay pa patrol ko.

malaking improvement ba? how about yung sa leaf ano ginawa?

[ARB]

para walang gastos. bring two people let them sit at the rear most of the bed and try how it rides. then if parang kulang pa add another person. then get their weight and make a sand bag with the same weight.

kumuha ka ng interior ng truck tapos lagyan mo ng sand tapos ilagay mo sa ibabaw ng reserba ng pickup...

[notEworthy27]

baka naman matagtag kasi tinanggal ang reserve?? hmmm beefy, bumpy?? city drving? maybe too much pressure sa tires?? go ako sa suggestion ni freeman!!! leaf spring and shox upgrade!! ARB!!! appear tayo dyan!!! thats one way to get the right "FEEL".

[Beefy]

Around how much does it cause to upgrade shoks and leaf?

[jondy]

bawasan mo nlng ng isang leaf spring or mag invert ka. ok na yan kahit di mo palitan ng shocks.
