[quote="flying kiwi":1aqpkpey][quote="the gamekeeper":1aqpkpey]the navs springs sit pretty flat compared to other pick ups. if you get another leaf and open the clamps on yours just lay the other leaf underneath and secure the clamps. hilux owners have been doin it for years and you get good results
so bought some more nav springs and had them couriered to me, took a leaf out and hey what do you know. its not that easy to "lay the leaf underneath". you have to have new spring clamps made to accomadate the extra spring and the nav spring clamps are rivieted on so not sure how you get away with that one!
lesson here is make sure you see with pics how its done without outlaying your cash! imho just buy hd springs that bolt in! :dunno[/quote:1aqpkpey]
mate you can take them apart with a bit of work then just put a new bolt in the middle where it sits on the axel(it allready has a resess in where the original spring sits) then fit the extra spring in,clamp it down .it sits ok when done ,i know a kid who has done it and it works spot on .sits higher,a lot firmer and not too hard .wish ide got him to do a step by step how to now[/quote:1aqpkpey]
how did he get away with the clamps at each end of the leafs? the ones i have here are made to accomadate the stock leafs.ie, no room for the extra. i think you could defo add add another leaf to the clamp that goes right around though. im just thinking of cutting the extra leaf slightly smaller and laying it there(no clamps, just the bolt). any help very much appreciated.
as for making the ride harder. ideal with the digger on the back!!
