Hello,

Thank you so much for adding me to the forum. I’m Imran from Kenya, and I’ve attached a photo of my ride.

I recently completed my build, but I’m having some trouble with the rear suspension. The rear shocks don’t seem to handle weight well—when the car is fully loaded for camping trips, it sags significantly. Even small potholes cause the shocks to bottom out, resulting in a harsh impact.

Could you kindly recommend suitable rear shocks that can better handle a fully loaded setup?

Many thanks for considering my request.

Best regards,
Imran

Springs are what you need to look at.

Springs are what support the weight, not shocks, and before you can choose a spring, you need to know how much additional weight you'll be carrying, and how much of that additional weight will be permanent.

You do not want to fit stiffer springs that you need to as this will result in a harsh ride when unloaded.

Several companies in Australia offer springs.
