MN suspension sports vs heavy duty

[Adam ace]

I have been trying to find out the differance between
GXL heavy duty (harder)
GLR and GLXR Sports suspension (softer)
How is ths achived as ride heights are the same, asked mmal some bullshit about not divulging company secrets
Local dealer said sports only front is softer, Big smoke dealer said sports was firmer
I checked number of back leaf springs, same? maby shocks
Any info?

[mad992]

yeah thats something ive often thought about , the glx-r comes with sports tuned suspension

I threw my sports tuned suspension in the bin and got Ultimate tuned suspension, is that above sports ???

Depends on whether you use it for work or play. If work, it's heavy duty. If play, it's sports.

Seriously Adam, I have no idea what the difference is, if it is coils/leaves or shocks/struts.

Interesting question, which normally would have me checking on before buying too. However, it might be a bit irrelevant in this case.

I haven't driven the MN but if it like the ML and pretty much all dual cabs the standard shocks are crap and it's the first upgrade you do to make them handle.

You can use the truck for work, but its absolutely nothing like heavy duty suspension.

In the ML i believe the GLX has an extra helper leaf on the bottom. Haven't looked for a while but there was a difference.

Do not know if this info help ,but here it goes.

I know on the Ml the heavy duty suspension have a extra leaf spring (Single and double cab)

front suspension .

Single Cab standard coils wire diameter is 16mm the heavy duty is 17mm

Free Length standard is 289mm heavy duty is 294mm.


Not to sure on the double cab's
