Hi guys, i am lifting my hilux 3" soon and was looking at the superior engineering parabolic springs.
I have a hilux 1993, ln106 2.8d turbo, with a winch, steel bullbar, side rails etc...

Are the parabolic springs suitable? will i get more flex running the parabolic springs rather than the 2" lifted springs?

The other question is has any body got good/bad reports from experience

Any help is appreciated
thanks

Alot of trucks we have at work are coming out with these parabolics standard now, and they do seem to be alot more comfortable. Its hard to test flex in a prime mover though.

I drive trucks with parabolic springs. They have shit flex.

I mate of mine has a 2000 model lux ifs with rear leafs, we were both talking to a dude that sells parabolic springs he said the same thing.
They dont improve the flex (in light veichles e.g hilux) they are better in heavier 4wds like patrols or cruisers.
he said they do improve the ride quality, he sugested to my mate to try some revolver shackles

This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between parabolics and normal leaves?

I like your sig

I'm throwing some of these spring's in my 75 so i'll let ya know if they do work .

From what i've been told they work pretty well, but don't cope well with heavy load's, but they do need some weght on them.

I've got parabolics in my 96 lux, 2.8 turbo, they are stiff as sh!t, the rears take a heavy load reasonably well, the fronts have sagged over a period of a couple of years with the weight on them.
Saying that they outlasted the previous leave packs I had in there. but my mates ifs lux almost outflexes me

I don't understand how they work, but in mine there are 2 leaves in the front and 3 in the rear. The leaves themselves are thicker in the middle and taper to the ends.

What is revolver shackles?

Has anyone used any other springs that they get reasonable flex? or would custom be the go?

Cheers
