It's looks to me like the telescopic mount part slides thru the coil stopper plate bit, thus can't get out of line.
Just an educated guess as I've not seen this b4.

this is what i've been looking at for the rear of the hilux. You could add a hydro ram to the slider if you wished.

I have a similar system on my rangie.. I made a plate that attaches to the spring and a pnuematic ram mounted over the spring mount ( where the shock tower was) This allows me to push the spring down 300mm giving me lift when needed and still having spring travel at full lift... Its neally completed ( the rams and all are in and working just making new radias arms...) and will be testing maybe next week Oh yeah... in the nutral position it allows the spring to drop 300mm before having to extend and all tucks up nice in its stock/ish location when not in use...If you want Ill get some pics posted soon and keep ya informed

300mm before the ram extends is what im after.

as said above it sounds great.
pics if you have them would be great.

without rams i wouldn't bother as its only diff weight you are dropping on the ground providing little traction, but the unstability on slopes usually helped by diff weight is gone. either correct length shocks, retainer straps are the go. i posted about doing exactly what you want to do a year or so ago and realised it is a travel ramp thing not really practical / effective. the rams sound good however :armsup:
