leaf sprung woes

Post by Elmo »

anyone got any ideas as to how i can put hilux diffs underneath my rig, the diffs have got an 80mm wider track, and i cant outboard the spring mounts due to qld transport, and i cant inboard the spring perches cause of the diff pumpkin

all i can even remotely think of is maybe slight wedges underneath the spring pack tilting inwards and orbital eyes in the hangers????????????

anyone got any ideas?????

yeah it is on a bit of a budget actually

my last one was land rover diffs, coils, a-frame etc

works pretty well actually

i just hadnt really played with leafs before, although coil-overs would be nice, then again so would fox air-ahox's :lol: :lol: :lol:

Is the f20 chassis narrower than a sierra??

If so wouldn't that put the pumpkin close to contacting with the rail??

Just as a side issue for this, does anybody know if the QLD Transport regulations for suspension modifications are on the web anywhere?

Cheers
