that looks a lovely truck.

A lift kit will not give you more load capacity or weight allowance - think the DC Hilux's are rated at approx. 950=1100 Kgs.

 

They are rated at 2200kg which is low compared to other trucks, but if you check the GVm etc you will find they are capable of towing 2.8=2,9 tonne

 

Don't take any of the above as fact, check details for yourself,

Cheers dude, like i said any advice is greatly appreciated. I was told that by either lifting the suspension a bit or changing the springs etc you can add a few kilos to your pay load. The only reason i really want to know is due to possibly putting a protipper in. I know thats going to reduce the pay load quite a bit due to its weight.

Thanks for your feedback mate. :001_smile:

It is possible to uprate them to 3500kg gross, give me a ring if you want more info.

 

I have uprated the leaf springs on my Navara, but Nissan fit really soggy ones in the UK to improve the ride quality.
