Can't say for sure, but it seems the lower tyre pressure (29psi) has improved the ride a little. Hard to say for sure. I'll test it on the weekend on some bumpier roads.
What tyre pressure are you guys running ?
What kind of suspension mods can be made to get a friendlier ride ?

I carry 50-100kg in the tray, so my main priority is comfort.
Im leaning towards Old Man Emu, due to the fact they are promoting the ride qualities over the lift -
TJM has 20% until later this month, but have heard ZERO mentioned about their suspension.
Pedders are telling me they can get the ride much smoother for $2600.
What is the popular opinion?

Spoke with the Tough Dog guy on the stand at the National 4X4 show in Brissy on the weekend. He reckons they are just waiting for stock of springs to show up and they are ready to launch, so about a week.
Interestingly he also drives a Triton and has said the kit will sort out the shudder and vibration with a 25mm lift, and he is confident because it fixed his completely, but it does require a modification to the centre bearing carrier (same as TJM and Ultimate). Also offering a performance or comfort option.

I do get shudder in mine on medium-heavy corrugations (shaking front passenger seat!) and that has definitely gotten worse. Yours sounds quite bad compared to mine and I do have sh** roads out this way so I could be used to it! Possibly some have it worse than others?
