MQ suspension Q

Post by Da Zook »

i had a look under my diesel MQ shorty and it only had 3 leaves up front and 4 up rear. Is this standard? it seems a bit meager for such a big 4b

Normal.
Leaf have many variable, ie, centre thickness etc
Some MQs have 6 leafs but thinner and same length, others have more normal staggered etc.

most likely all the leaves are the same length are they, if so these are parabolic leaves and 3 or 4 is normal but you won't get real good load carrying ability, but they give a softer ride and flex better than staggered packs

They are much thicker leaves if there is 3 in the front and they are all the same length as stated above...

mine had 6 up front and were very thin, rears had 5 i think and were 8mm thick i think from memory....

my fronts if in a large pack are only 6mm thick, and weak, if you remove leaves on the smaller type they wrap on you very quickly....

My lux leaves are 8mm and i run 5 including a small front one so only 4 of any size, they flex like buggery with the shackle setup and down wrap.....

your leaves are perfect for what your use is... my pick of the setups
