i am a proud owner of a 83 single cab lux its got 2 inch lift n 33'' baja claws and i am wondering if there is a way to make my springs softer cause they are very stiff when driving on the road. i have taken a leaf out and that helped but i was thinking of getting rancho adjustable shocks but not sure if they will do the job i am after.im open to any questions. thank u

Rear springs out of a Mazda Bravo with main leaf removed. Very nice ride, slightly longer without moving diff position, heaps better flex, and pair with extended shackles and you will probablly need a traction bar to reduce diff wrap, or not... i went without for abour 9 months before fitting mine on the old girl.

You can go coil over spring.Son`s Hilux is set up like this, very flexy.Also is a s.o.a set up
Cheers
