Re hilux mk 5 heavy duty suspension?

[SpringhallTreeCare]

Was that on a hilux mate?

 

It wasn't, but there is a picture of a pickup on their website

I am not sure what they use but they need to be at least as wide as the bump stops. If I get a minute do you want a pic. I would guess escort springs would be better. The good thing about it is they dont do alot until you have some weight on. Proper heavy duty springs make the back end rock hard when empty

 

Yes please mate

Coil springs were £12 each from a rover 75 in the salvage yard labour was bout 2 hours.

I promised to post these pics sorry for delay been working away. The way you have fitted your springs may be better, mine have knocked one of the bump stops off. My springs fit over the upper stop. You may find when loaded you need to adjust the brake proportioning valve as the rears wont do much.

Yes bought 10 litres of black wax oyl 3 years ago just not had the time and cant really be arsed. I worked out I can earn the money before it rusts through. Rolling around underneath reminds me of owning my defender.
