Hilux rear suspension query
Posted: January 1st, 2020, 9:34 pm
Hi,
I have a 2011 hilux extracab with a 2.5 litre engine.It needs a rear leaf spring replaced and now would be the time to make it ready for the demountable which is imminent.
Bearing in mind that it is mainly used with no load,should I replace the rear springs with standard load rating or fit heavier rated rear leafs?......I'm replacing the shackles,bushes,etc with greasable at this time.
I also plan to have airbags fitted to assist the rear suspension,hence my leaf spring query.
Springs can be sourced from “Roughtrax” and airbags from “Markle”.........unless anyone has better quality and more suitable products in mind.
Please point me in the right direction as I want to fit the correct parts for the task and only fit them once.
thanks in advance
