Koni's, which leaf springs ?

OK, I've got a HZJ75 ute which has the oem springs and shocks, the springs, shocks etc are stuffed. I've done a bit of research and have decided on koni's, greasable shackles & pins, I was looking at parabolic springs but have heard different opinions, any ideas on which leaf springs ?

Guzzla funny you should mention some weight in the back, Ive got 2 toolboxes & filled it up with scaffold the other day & it did make a difference.

I had them at 42 which is what the tyre shop said to run the MT's at, I lowered them to 36 with no real difference then to 32. 32 at the front started to wear the edges badly.

Cruiser Removing Kidneys

Gday guys, Ive got a HZJ75 ute, I recently splerged and bought 16x8 alloy rims with 285,75x16 BFG MT,s to replace the standard split rims, the prob is the ride feels heaps harder. I've tried dropping the pressure but that started to stuff the edges of the tyres. Any ideas ?

I think it was a centreline alignment. I'm doing the hubs, wheel bearings, etc shortly so that will remove some possible causes.

BFG muddies

G'day all I've got a new set of 285/75 16 BFG M/T on alloy rims fitted to my toyota HZJ75 ute, I've found the ride is much harsher compared to the standard 16 inch split rims. The tyre place had them at 42 psi and I've lowered them to 38 which helped. What can I run them at without stuffing the ...
