Dear Both,
Need your guidelines for its suspension upgrade to make it little comfy, It has Kamani, don't want to go for coil spring, any alternate plz? @noman8ff Bhai, I need wider tires. Plz suggest Tyre size and type, I mostly drive it on road and sand.
Thank you so much.

"Sj and comfort are two different things"
For some comfort you have to add "pata's" on to your kamani and buy calmini or Oldman emu gas shock absorber.
The tyre size I am using right now is 235 /75 /15 for that size you atleast need 4 pata kamani, otherwise it will hit the fender. An all terrain tyre will be a better choice. On sand your tyre pressure will be lower then the road.

Good to see your SJ-413 in action.How is the performance of G-13 on highway? Did it provide an average 120km/h cruise speed on highway with full pay load?
How is the performance offroad? which gear you are using?
Actually I had a Sj-410 Long wheel base few years back & what I found its very much under-powered due 1000cc engine.
Due to longer chassis I was thinking for a diesel engine conversion which I did not & sold the vehicle in 2010.
Now I am again making a similar type of vehicle (SJ-410 Long Wheel Base) but now a days SJ-413 entire stuff is available & you are also using it.
So please share your experience so upcoming projects like mine can get some help & views.

Thank you @OffRoad
Below are the answers of ur queries.
-- Best performer. I use it as daily ride. Gives around 12-14km/ltr; which I think is the best any light SUV can give. As for speed, Offcourse, It goes upto 120km/hr.
-- I am using G13 with Seirra 5 Speed manual and Sierra 4x4. Being light in weight, it performs great in desert/sand. Best performer in mud terrain too, where most heavy vehicles got stuck.
-- 1000cc is bit under powered. I will recommend G13 with sierra gear. It is light and performs best both on road & offroad.
-- Many people are using 2c with hilux gear. Indeed, it has good power, but at the same time very heavy on this type of vehicle.
