I replaced the shocks on friday. It took me about 1,5 hour and it was super easy. Now the ride is fantastic, no more rear jumping, no more sagging.

Previously the rear was sagging even when I put only one leg on the hitch. Now I can stand with both legs on the hitch and the rear won't sag ;)

 

So thank you guys for all suggestions and help.

I also bought front struts but I am taking it to a shop to replace it.

Finally, I think I don't need new springs as there is no more sagging.

Today I replaced front struts at shop. The mechanic said that there is no need to adjust an alignment because it is not adjustable.

So should I go for wheel alignment?

I found an information about stock vehicle height:

I measured my height and this is what I have got:

Front: Left - 82,5 cm, Right 82,5 cm

Rear: Left 79,5 cm, Right 80,5 cm

 

It looks like it is too low so maybe it is the time for the new springs?

The wrench has 14,5 cm length and the hand is not mine ;)

Ok, I'll buy new springs, but I don't know which type.

I have following rear springs available:
- Ironman NISS035B +35mm +200 kg
- Lovells DRR-83HD +35-50mm +100 kg

Lovells are little more expensive, but they are in stock and I have to wait more than month for Ironmans.

Second thing is that Lovells should be higher, up to 2", and I am afraid of top-out and buying an additional spacers/camer bolts as you do with AC 2" lift. (those things are in front but maybe I'll go with front too)

Finally Ironmans are HeavyDuty and I am afraid that they could be too hard as I don't drive with so much load.

What do you think?

Where did you find Lovells springs available? I looked and didn't seem to find them. I tried the iron mans as well and liked the amount of lift in the rear but also switched because I wanted the firmer ride...that's what she said. Let me know on the Lovells tho
