Wife got a 2007 Fit and we took it to Florida from N.C. fully loaded last year. Hoping the pic attach will show to let you see what can be carry.
Of course the car had bottom out with all the stuff loaded; so this year found the post on Monroe air shocks by Manxman and the wife and me change them out this weekend for the trip to Florida the first of June .
Just wanted to thank all ;that help get the imfomation on what shocks to use and how to go about it. All went Smooth and the wife is Real Happy with the way the Fit rides Since it is her baby ; glad thing did go smooth so she wouldn t have a FIT at me
Thanks Guys

And I thought that the wife, three kids, two car seats, two suitcases, two laptops, an ammo can, a cooler, a saxophone, and three pillows was a pretty fair load!

Any links to the original DIY thread? I can't seem to locate it.

 

Yea ; I forgot about the wife; just kidding She pay 1/2 the gas and of course it IS her car. Even with the load and all the stuff on top ; the Fit still average 25 miles a gal. Of course going to Florida from NC is all down hill ;right; but coming back is hell--ha ha
