Hi All, I have a Mazda BT 50 Turbo Diesel ute and have a Trakmaster off road van on order. I don't plan on doing anything too extreme off road but wondering what suspension modification would be best for the BT50 given the Trakkie will weigh around 2700 kg with a ball weight in the vicinity of 220kg.
