Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs
Hi has anyone done the ifs rears swap on a solid axle hilux using springs from a current model hilux? As far as I can work out they are the same 51" curve length as earlier ifs springs but flatter. Different camber, so they might be too long.
Re: Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs
I think you will find that the locating pin is in a different position to the older IFS springs
Re: Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs
Not what your asking but someone may want to know
I have standard 07/08 rear springs in the back of my ln106 duel cab
It moved my diff back 65mm - I installed a driveshaft spacer,
I ground off the old shackle bracket and purchased new ones - moved it back 65mm
Then got 5.5 in shackles and it rides so much better now
Note: the shackles now are at 45 degrees and flexes well
Also
Thats alloy tray no weight

Re: Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs
Thanks. I haven't measured an early ifs spring to compare but the pin on the late model one is further back. Did you fellas have to relocate the shackle mount or are you using factory hangers?
Re: Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs
Sorry, you already said you had to move it. I'm guessing you're running inverted shocks?
With the 5.5" shackles have you got the shackle bolted through the chassis or hanging underneath?

I bought new shackle hangers moved back approx 65-70mm
I have shocks in the standard location for now and they are fine, but I will fab up a inverted shock bar

Re: Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs
What sort of ride height did you end up with? Did you use the whole standard pack or remove leaves. Thanks for your help by the way.
Re: Hilux ifs rears with new hilux springs

I used the full set of leaves when I swapped over
As for ride height , it is higher than standard , but I can measure for you tonight
Ground to the bottom of the chassis ok
