hi there i was wondering if any of you guys have any spare leafs lying around from random vehicled to measure up for a replacement for my roza WT.
i measure the current ones to be 7cm wide and 116.5cm long from eye to eye but they are FLAT AS!!! i dont know wat time means in terms of what to look for in a new spring to raise around 2" from stock
any suggestions?
thanks alot,
michael

use the rear springs out of an old Hilux Surf .. they fit straight in but take the two shortest leaves out of the Pack to give it a softer ride ( you will need to do is replace the bushes with new Daitashu ones as the bolt hole size is different for the Toyota's)
Ive done this conversion to mine and I got a 2" lift in the rear... wind up the torsion bars in the front and your away laughing

got mine out of a old 1986 model (the ones with front and rear Leaf springs) not sure what model it is KN .... something from memory, easy to find as the later ones where coil sprung anyway

.... the other option was to get the factory springs reset at an engineering firm for about $140 NZ, this would give me the same amount of lift but with a factory ride and handling.

i have been onto a few wreckers and apparently the 89' surf srprings would be too long?? They said i would have to use my original main spring and just take a few out of the pack from the surf?
is this wat you are talking about that you did?
also your roza is a widetrack isnt it (feroza II)?

they are longer and i had to bow them to fit the shackels thats what bends the springs a little more and "lifts" the suspension up that little bit.
Mines a f300 feroza though not the Feroza II .... dont know how much differnce it would make. maybe getting your factory springs reset would be the easiest to do ... that way you know they will fit ... have a talk to your local engineering firm (pref ones that build traliers) about resetting your factory springs with a 2" reset....
cheers Mark
