Hi guys,

I'm thinking of further raising the rear suspension. Currently it is in about 6cm of height and I'm thinink of replacing the second leaf (its 3+1) with another like Rancho, Procomp, Skyjacker, Superlift, etc.

Any suggestions on this? Is there any add-a-leaf solution that matches Feroza's rear suspension?

be carefull it doesn't get to stiff in the rear...... makes for ver bad handling on rough roads.

i have 5 leafs in mine and its way way too hard and i have ranchos adjustable shocks. Keep it as soft as possible. Take mine and mighty's advice or youll get a hard ride. And if you do go ahead get a kidney belt :lol:

Oh so true - :lol: :lol: :lol:

And a neck brace as you'll spend lots of time looking out the side windows when it decides to get awfully sideways on rough roads. And BTW choice of rear shock is CRITICAL to taming the Ferozas rear end.

Don't overlook spacing your bump stops when you lift it as well. I'll not try and confuse the discussion with the why's - but its VERY important to the off road capability of a live axle system.

If it gets to stiff i'll use it as a tramboline :D. I have OME shocks in the rear and they're quite soft so no problem with that.
The question is: will it get too rough if I replace one leaf with a Rancho (or similar) leaf? The total lnumber will be maintained to 3+1...
