Hi all,

Delivering firewood tonight, and when I'm chipping into the hilux , sometimes she looks a little "low"

Is there anybody out there that sells heavy duty leaf springs for the mk5?

Thanks all

Check out Milner offroad and see what they have, failing that look locally and see if you can find someone that can just put an extra leaf on the original springs, a mate of mine had that done a while back and it's made the world of difference

As above, try milner offroad. Had their HD springs on both a Hilux and a Landcruiser.

 

They were OK but I did manage to bend one on the Landcruiser. A bettr quality, though more expensive option would be to get some made up locally - not as hard as it maybe sounds as those places do exist.

 

Though to be fair, hiluxes are useless at carrying proper weight - get a defender :001_smile:

Put a coil spring from a car between the bump stops. Have them on mine works a treat when unloaded not rock hard when loaded does not drop too far. Put 400,000kg in mine looks ok. The heater works and you dont need to open the window to drive it.
