Toyota Hilux 4x4

[gjtech]

sorry if may nagpost na regarding this...

guys, sobrang tadtad ng Hilux 4x4. aside from changing the tires, ano pa kaya ang pwede kong gawin to lessen the stiff ride?

meron nagsasabi, baligtadin yung leaf spring, is this safe? may effect ba if i replace the shocks?

[OTEP]

Baligtarin mo yung overload spring lang. It's the least used of all the springs unless pang-hakot talaga yung hilux mo. Usually ito yung nasa bottom ng spring pack.

Lower your tire pressure to around 32 psi din.

all aftermarket shocks are stiff,
but not harsh.

you could try liquid shocks kaso maalon naman.

baka you mean "tagtag"?

change mo springs mo sa OME.

tnx guys...

i know the best way is to change the shocks and springs kaagad, pero what's a good upgrade path on a limited budget?

are there other good alternatives aside from ome?

[Ungas]

Remove your shocks. That the cheapest plan I could think of now.

[gjtech]

...and replace it with ome? malaking bagay ba or yung leaf springs muna?

[ARB]

shocks will cost 19200 for the four. springs will cost mga 45k.

you can do what otep said, but it would be a trial and error thing. remove or reverse one spring then observe, till you get the desired ride. sa front you may notice na hindi naka U ang shape ng springs its like an inverted U, i dont know how to do it sa front.

wow expensive pala!

sir arb if i change the shocks muna wud there be a substantial difference or talagang sa leaf spring yun nanggagaling ang harsh na ride?

[Sheep]

change your hi lux to a strada

well naobserve ko sa hilux is pag fully loaded sya less ang tagtag nya try putting sacks of sand at your cargo bed
but i think it may affect your fuel economy although minimal
kahit naman not loaded ok lang afterall you cant expect car like ride from a pick up

[ARB]

the harshness will be the same but the bounce will surely differ, how the suspension handles potholes and humps will also differ.

palitan m gulong m yung stock na gulong medyo matagtag i change it to dunlop sp rv tires di na masyado tagtag malambot na sya mine is a 2000 model.

[tomahawk]

tire pressure down to 30psi depending on your tire size, i use 32x10x15 duelers, it helps, pero talagang ganyan yan leaf springs kasi.

ty guys for your replies!
