Ae95 R Suspetion Upgrades Q's

[idw]

hey guys,

 

I'm getting further into a 4agze convention for my little 4wd wagon, and i really need some suspension advice. so getting down to it

 

back when i put the thing back on the road i replaced most of the bushes and the rear shockers, i put kyb gas shocks in the back but i never touched the front end. as far as i can tell it has the original struts which would be close to 22 years old now.

 

i want to replace the front struts as they are well ant truly dead, would new standard struts work well? or should i be looking into harder springs to stiffen the front end as it bottoms out alot. I'm not sure if standard ae series struts will work as of the extra added weight of the transfer case

 

cheers guys
