Not 100% sure but I think the leaf springs on a wide track feroza are actualy wider then a narrow track spring but don't quote me on that :P

The Widetrack does have a slightly wider leaf pack.

Now here goes some stuff off memory for a wide track. The ID is 16mm and the Installed width is 100mm, couldn't say the OD of them though. Thats off a very dodgey memory so don't take it as correct.

Don't have much specific info for you - this is just from my crappy memory :D

WideTrack & Narrow Track definitely different. Wide Track is 70mm Wide, Narrow track is 60mm ( I think ) - pretty sure they are same width as Zuk Sierra & Hilux. Both are defintely 16mm internal diameter.

The actual Spring Eye Bushes are available from Daihatsu but very pricey - from a wrecker you won't get them out of the spring - they tend to weld themselves in there :D
You can get them from some of the Suspension mobs in Urethane. 4Ways had them ( where I got mine ) - Ultimate also had them & TJM will as well. Installed width of the Wide Track ones is around 82-84mm as this is how wide my Extended Shackles for the Wide Track Feroza are.

Hope this helps a bit......Mike H.
