Yes, is the problem. Our market is flooded with product catering for the majority with no consideration for any other options. Most people when surveyed, whether they prefer a luxurious ride of a Fairlane or a sporty firm ride of an XR6. Their answer is XR6. Therefor the manufacturers make to suit marketing results with a "one size fits all approach". The 10% of people wanting a nice ride, suffer. All 2" lifted springs are designed to lift the weight of the vehicle + support 20% extra loading.

So for the people out there just wanting a pure 4x4 performance suspension lift and a better ride, there's nothing available. Plenty of rigs on the road who never carry anything and are set up for pure 4x4 (not touring with bars, bottles, boxes and 100 bits of equipment hanging off their rigs weighing them down).
