Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi has anyone done the ifs rears swap on a solid axle hilux using springs from a current model hilux? As far as I can work out they are the same 51" curve length as earlier ifs springs but flatter. Different camber, so they might be too long.

I think you will find that the locating pin is in a different position to the older IFS springs

Not what your asking but someone may want to know
I have standard 07/08 rear springs in the back of my ln106 duel cab
It moved my diff back 65mm - I installed a driveshaft spacer,
I ground off the old shackle bracket and purchased new ones - moved it back 65mm
Then got 5.5 in shackles and it rides so much better now

Note: the shackles now are at 45 degrees and flexes well
Also
Thats alloy tray no weight

Thanks. I haven't measured an early ifs spring to compare but the pin on the late model one is further back. Did you fellas have to relocate the shackle mount or are you using factory hangers?

Sorry, you already said you had to move it. I'm guessing you're running inverted shocks?
With the 5.5" shackles have you got the shackle bolted through the chassis or hanging underneath?

Wally

I bought new shackle hangers moved back approx 65-70mm

I have shocks in the standard location for now and they are fine, but I will fab up a inverted shock bar

What sort of ride height did you end up with? Did you use the whole standard pack or remove leaves. Thanks for your help by the way.

Wally

I used the full set of leaves when I swapped over

As for ride height , it is higher than standard , but I can measure for you tonight

Ground to the bottom of the chassis ok

That would be good thanks what size tyres are you running?

Wally

I have been away and won't be back till next Wednesday

Sorry for the delay
I'm running 33x12 pro comps by the way

No stress

Wally

I have just measured and the distance between bottom of the chassis rail and the ground is 28 inches
Sorry for the delay
