    Norto, I've noticed no undue pitching in mine, even now that it's got a steel bullbar and winch up front (and a rooftop tent on top)

    It may be a software problem or a leak??

    When my compressor failed and the suspension couldn't be raised, it pitched and swayed so badly. I thought I was going to be seasick.

    Ahh!

    Well it shouldn't be too long before you can get stronger aftermarket springs, if they aren't available already.

    I put King Springs in the Suby. They lifted her 2" and gave a much firmer ride. Four corners cost me the same as two rear genuine Subaru shockies.

    I know Pedders do raised heavy duty springs for D3s. They will lift an unladen vehicle to about the same height as an airbag model in the "up" position.
