Yeh dude they are sweet, that is my line of thinking. Plus 2 shocks and plus 4s can be a bit expensive.
Theses are perfect for the job

Yeh thats y i was asking about overload spring removal for more flex but nobody replied

#185 by 123hotchef , Tue Sep 30, 2014 9:56 pm

what were u asking
I must of missed it mate

#186 by Nige07 , Tue Sep 30, 2014 9:59 pm

Leaf spring articulation. If i remove the overload spring from the leaf pack how much articultation expected and is it wise to do so? Bearing in mind my truck wont be used for towing or carting hay bales

@woody13 you runing 35s?

33's on my L200 and 285's on my landy.

To be honest I dont think you would gain nothing as the back of the chassis hit the floor before anything, if ya go tray back might be a different story,

you can also remove the front ARB for better articulation on the front

My line of thinking was weaker springs = more articulation

Thats the spirit...

#198 by Nige07 , Tue Sep 30, 2014 10:15 pm

So any thorts on better articulation? Any tricks i can do whilst keeping the price down?

#199 by woody13 , Tue Sep 30, 2014 10:18 pm

Try it off road as it is, you'll be surprised how good they are...

#200 by birdie , Tue Sep 30, 2014 10:24 pm

If you have a difflock there's not much need for articulation
