^ from what truck was the donor leaves? I think i could diy that i'L beat ur P8k.LOL. Seriously, this is better than doing the brandnew leaves.. Im still on stock rear shocks, planning to replace them if they leak.

Sure bro, may mwelye dito sa baba ng building pang trailer lang nga international trucks and volvo. Lol. Yung sa dmax kaya mataas msyado curved ang mwelye, im thinking kung ganun ang ilagay. Pero mganda gnawa ni sir whistler, sapin lang saglit lang gawin.

Yup, cheaper talaga DIY for sure. Maybe 4-6k? Mahal lang yung akin kasi I had to buy a big a$$ C-clamp, jack stands, paint, etc and paid someone to put it together coz I'm lazy este busy.

Yung donor leaves were from something Mitsubishi. Di ko lang sure kung alin, di kasi nagcacatalogue yung katayan. Same thickness lang ba yung leaves galing Dmax? Maganda siguro yung balak mo na mataas ang curve ng leaves, yung mga rock crawlers kasi ganun ang itsura, maganda talaga ride. Di ko lang tinaasan masyado yung akin kasi stock length yung rear Bilsteins. Di rin mapapakinabangan yung extra droop kasi malilimit na rin nya yung down travel. Yung fronts ok lang oem length shocks since ang naglilimit ng droop is yung coil spring bucket.

Mura lang maglift ng rear pero yung front, pag more than 2" madugo, kelangan ng UCA + coilovers or drop bracket kit. Eeek!:shocked:

Baka may spring clips ka rin na mahanap na maganda, yung nakakatravel pa rin upwards yung leaves. yung C-clips kasi nabibind yung leaves, feeling ko di pa rin masyado makaporma individually yung leaves.

Meron na pics bro, page 227. Makikita na dun na softer yung spring rate from the angle of the shackle. May mali pa nga dun, di ko gusto yung length ng isang leaf, maybe when I get the time maghahanap ulit ako isang donor leaf. Also the spring clips should be taller and bolt style.

Post ka naman pics nung sa yo

Finally my rear suspension project is done! We took off the stock 4x2 leaf pack and this is what it looks like:



Doesn't look too bad when it's not supporting the truck but these are close to shot when installed (see before pic). The thing I don't like about the OEM 4x2 leaf pack is the main and second leaves. If you look closely you can see they are the same length. They will move like one thick main leaf, not good for ride quality. So what we have is practically one thick main leaf, one shorter leaf, and two thick overload leaves that are just act as bump stops.

I wanted to cut the second leaf to get better leaf stepping but wasn't sure how many leaves yet we could go. Too many leaves would lift the rear so high I might need a drop bracket kit for the front. Not happening as it's too expensive! So we left the first 2 leaves alone for now. Ended up getting 2 donor leaves of the same thickness (8 or 9mm?) from an automotive ukay-ukay near Banawe. The 2 leaves have more curve to them, and will make the leaf pack more progressive. We removed the last overload and flipped the longer overload. I stuck to the stock length rear Bilstein shocks as they still don't limit droop at full extension. And voila!

Before:


After:


Total lift for the rear is around 2". Tires look really small now, LOL. First impressions, the ride is now much more comfortable even without load in the back. And smaller bumps are barely in the cabin. I'll revisit cutting the second leaf if things get too stiff in the future but for now, this setup is not bad at all for a few K's worth of parts.

linis ah :D akala ko pati diffs nagpalit ka din hehe, balik mo ext shackle mo mga 4 inch lift yan sa likod :D

il post some pics transfer ko lang files

[12vdc]

Linis nga, pininturahan ba o pinunasan ng used oyl?

Casa quoted me P13,900 for new leafpack, included na yung front bushing.

Dumating na yung suspension parts ko, pwede na mag parallel susp mod pag may time.
