Shocks are not new, but not shot either. It drives the CG is way high. The ride height is much higher than my 240D.

Yes, the front bar is wimpy for the weight, but it is a pain to get at. I want to drop the front and use stiffer springs. I may even retro fit some in cab adjustable shocks.

I can deal with the back end wanting to come around, in fact, prefer that to the front pushing.

Just had a thought, Perhaps an additional bar for the front that goes under the car? May be under the front of the engine? I will have to look tomorrow.
