Ive havent heard much about mazda leafs, Ive heard about falcon rears, but mostly RUF(rears up front) and IFS rears seem to be the pick for most people running solid axle luxs.

so IFS rears upfront (SR5) what about the back?

I would like about 3-4" of lift without going crazy length shackles

From the reading ive done through this forum, and I could be wrong as Im not looking into changing spring packs just yet.
RUF is your rear springs in the front, will move diff forward 35mm, and I think you will need to have longer shackles to run them.
IFS rears is just that, IFS rear springs in the back, but Im sure if they go straight in or not.
Lux89 has alot of info in his build thread about these mods, I think Wiener and Da Runner and lots of others do as well.
But like I said, Im not sure on the exact ins and outs of these mods, check those build threads and if youre still not sure, PM the guys that have done this mod themselves, they will know for sure.
Good luck.

my luxy has ruf and ifs rear plus rear diff moved back about 2 more inches and a few leafs out of the packs and layed back long long shackles i get the back wheel to my shoulder on flex ramp, love it. people with their patrols are blown away cos it doubles them .. with the ruf you have to get longer spline front tailshaft too and remove ladder bar and stuff but well worth it :idea:

Well im impressed never seen leaves work like that even drop shackles and soft leaves dont do that normally :shock:

Keep that pic handy for whenever theres a coil vs leaves argument!

Just how long are these shackles and how many leaves in the pack???

the shackles are about 300mm layed right over on about a 45 deg, theres 3 leaves in the rear and 4 in the front plus the little leaf thats only about 300 long.
also has dropped crossmember and sits pretty at a tiny 6ft to the roof on 35s

that thing in the background has to be the most rediculous patrol ever,
its straight gas, rb30, shit dualcab(not a fan on duallies) ,now has like an old trampoline as a tray, super duper heavy duty suspension all round, about the only good thing it has atm is the 40"mtrs on -44 17x9, she needs some love
he's on here somewhere

OHH I dont know how anyone says i've never seen leaves work like that?, have a look on pirate at the pickups, they put the big boys patrols to shame with leaves, granted there a dog to drive on road, but so is a ridiculously soft patrol with no sway bars.
