interested in hearing from those who have done it before in a hilux

I fitted mine in reverse rotation with the shorter part at the rear for a better departure angle. Unfortunately I wasn't happy with their performance and I had aftermarket ones made.

Although others have used them with great success.

I have IFS rears in the rear :) ...

...I have IFS up front though :cry:

Mine flex OK but I want more. When I do my SAS I will be looking for something flexier.

Have you cut the end off your chassis? Styleside tray? You will need a considerably longer shackle (about 180mm centre to centre). If you have a styleside tray you'll prolly be able to hide the longer shackles and extra spring length.

I have a trimmed chassis, I fitted some IFS rears in the rear - wasn't real happy with them, (just a personal preference) the length of the shackle, and the way they sat. I reverted back to lifted, standard length springs. Other people on this site have had success with them (IFS springs) though.
