bubblegoose Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 currently has one leaf added and shims removed, will use monroe gas (midrange dont wana spend too much) just trying to balance it out a bit as the front is nice and firm but the rear still feels like a sponge cake floating in a bowl of custard they have already been reset 3" adding the axtra standard leaf lifted that shit up 1/2" not too fussed a block will easily fix that would anti tramp bars stiffen it up any? (by reducing flex a bit maybe i duno im thick) maybe if they were preloaded a bit?? suppose i could just take the top leaf into a spring guy and say 'oi make my shit stiff n low' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 i also have 1 leaf lol will be adding a second leaf soon, is already way stiffer as its now got front shocks from a diesel land rover which stiffened it right the fuck up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 would anti tramp bars stiffen it up any? (by reducing flex a bit maybe i duno im thick) maybe if they were preloaded a bit?? Nope, well it probably would but you wouldn't do it. If you have a pre load on the tramp bars they send weird diff noises and vibrations into the car.

bubblegoose Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 front shocks from a diesel land rover which stiffened it right the fuck up eyes on both ends? what are the lengths of these mythical landrover shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 if your leafs are already close to flat then add in a overload leaf like in the pic i posted up... its like twice the thickness of a normal leaf the extra leaf you added... what size leaf did you add? just a small one on the bottom or did you double up on the main leaf?

Hemi Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 tbh mang , i would have gotten another leaf made up thicker . if you do have more then 3 leaves flip the middle one . its dodgy but this will to the job . tramp bars wont wark too well they are more for diff deflection i reckon . you could adopt a truck like system but that requires two linking it type thing ..and not cheap .

bubblegoose Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 .and not cheap . nah flag that, this is just a temporary thing till i go irs just gona rip it all appart tidy them up and put back in with an overload leaf in that shit and a decent set of shocks should do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
