Thread: Hard Hilux suspension

I agree with the OP about the rears, they're substandard and need attention. I have the same truck as Flyblown and found the suspension lacking for even normal road use, it only had 40k on the clock. With that in mind & wanting to do a lift, I did Dobinson coils for the front and Bilstein shocks all round. Rears, I had the leaves reworked and added to, to avoid that bottom out feeling as the OP mentioned. All the work was done by a mate who owns a spring manufacturing company, so I got a bloody good deal. I've done a few trips up the Canterbury rivers and long road trips and the ride is a vast improvement.
Worth spending the money on good gear.
