Hilux springs sagging

YEP, Tjm t13 b/bar steel, Dual batts in engine bay, But only five leafs in front springs ? And its the diesel.

Maybe I need strongers springs ?
But the rears a fine.

Hey mate

If you have added this gear afterwards then yes, a stronger spring. Just a guess, is the extra battery you put in, on the side sagging the most? rears are fine cause you added the weight to the front and tend to be a bit stronger

Look for a 6 leaf spring, also watch the steering drag link on drivers side and make sure you use a flat top forged u-bolt on that side.

YEP, the battery is on the sagging LHS side, I got the flat top U-bolt with the springs. Thanks for your reply crazie it has helped me out straight away.
I`ll chase up some six packs for the front. Maybe I`LL try OME springs.
Cheers.

Hi there mrbasilbrush, got OME on myn all round, 89 sr5 2.8D no problems with sagging, just put another set on a few weeks ago front only rears still ok, good ride steel bar up front no winch, can have a look at rig profile. $133 each from TJM Regards Steve M

Thanks stephen for that info, Thats pretty cheap for front springs.
Do yours have six leafs on front ?
And if its not too much hassle for ya, What measurement do you have between the bump stop and the chassis ? I currently have 85mm on RHS and 70mm on LHS.
I`ve seen other hilux`s with 2" lift and they seem to have about 120mm just guessing, But I dont know what brand they would`ve had.

Just measured the distance between and is approx 80mm either side and they contain 6 leafs If you like give me your email address can send you a copy of the reciept with all part numbers of springs greasable shackles u bolts etc. Would post on here but have no idea on how to do it, tried to paste and copy but that dont work.Regards Steve M

Thanks for that steve, but I`ll drop in and see TJM and see what they reckon, Cause I`m thinking of adding a winch soon so I might have to beef it up a bit more.
cheers.
