lift blocks

**Sheep** · February 26th, 2004 09:53 PM

pardon for the ignorance pero ano po ba ang ichura nito?

mas maganda po ba itong procedure ng pag lift againts extended shackles???

alin po ba mas maganda sa dalawa?

di po ba pag shacke ang inextend ay maaapektuhan ang load carrying capacity ng pick up?

errr pag lift blocks?

:freak:

A plain metal rectangular block placed in between the axle housing and leaf springs. This will enable lifting properties upto an extent that your current u-bolt lengths. Basically the cheapest way to lift a leaf sprung suspension. But not the best way when it comes to flexing and cargo holding.

Shackle lifts may offer ample additional leaf sprung exntesion but the downside is cargo holding when compressed. Springs are not fully utilized when doing this kind of lifting process. It may allow you to load extra cargo with the extended lift from shackles, but be wary about the primary or the madre spring to carry all the burden load.

Isa iyan sa mga sinaunang lifting techniques. Yes, it simply means a block stuffed between the axle and leaf spring pack to lift the vehicle.

Lift blocks are applicable only to spring over axle setup. it becomes a lowering block when attached to an axle over spring setup.

**OTEP** · February 26th, 2004 10:35 PM

Yup. Style Chicano yang paggamit ng lowering block. hehehehe. Tapos gold na wire wheels.

Ang get up, slacks na may sando at suspenders. hehehehe. Ayos!

So hindi pala maganda yang ganyang lift up set up?? ok buti nalang balak ko pa naman gawin sa truck....

Ok sa comparison ahhh parang nakita ko na to sa old movies..

kung magdagdag ako ng leaf? tataas po sya?

parang SOA naman ang l200 ...tama po ba ako?

**notEworthy27** · February 27th, 2004 02:39 AM

hindi SOA ang L200 pati na rin ang strada.

So it means na dagdag height yung lift blocks + SOA?

Kung dadagdag ka ng leaf additional cargo load but not lift it. Sa nipis ng leaf springs, hindi ito makakatulong magpataas. Unless, Kabitan mo ng isang set sa ibabaw ng original sets.

Springs under axle setups have no other way but to change shackles lengths or swap original sets to longer sets to accomodate lifting properties.

Any Idea how much the cost of surplus "leafs pring"

any recommended shop in banawe??

**Ungas** · February 27th, 2004 03:51 PM

Why buy surplus leaf sets? Baka mabili mo ngalay na ang springs sag din kaagad yan. Suspension spring rates have 5-8 years span before it reaches fatigue rate.

Dun ka na lang sa bago, imo.

**Sheep** · February 27th, 2004 04:59 PM

so pwede kaya ang canter leaf springs ikabit sa strada para tumaas....???

or kahit anong orig na leafs from trucks...???

sigurado much cheaper to sa old man emu

**OTEP** · February 27th, 2004 05:03 PM

Nung nasa shop ako ni Glenn, dumating yung delivery nila ng leaf springs.

Parang generic lang naman.

Paglift ng leaf spring, ito ang ilan sa mga options mo.
*Get a new spring pack with more or thicker leaves. (expensive) - ganito ata ginawa ni woodfire sa Strada niya.
*Add leaves into your existing leaf springs (add-a-leaf kung tawagin sa States)
*Lift blocks (not a bad option basta sa rear axle lang ilalagay)
*Extend shackles ala kimpOy
*SOA (pero baka sumobra ang taas, hindi makahabol ang front suspension adjustment kahit itodo ang torsion bars.

**Ungas** · February 27th, 2004 05:26 PM

Pwede naman yung leaf packs from trucks, you will have to customize the narrow size chassis mount to wider springs from trucks.

**NightRock** · February 27th, 2004 05:32 PM

SO how much a new set of leaf spring.. lalagay ko sana sa canter.. sobrang baba kasi sayad na agad sa goma

**Ungas** · February 27th, 2004 05:50 PM

Canter? Malaki naman po yata masyado yun, may auxiliary leafs pa yun pag kakaalam ko. Nasubukan nyo na ba tignan ang Dyna leafs mas adaptable pa ito.

**ARB** · February 27th, 2004 06:05 PM

if you want to add lift the rear using leafs find a high arc leaf to increase the height. adding a flat or near flat leaf will not lift it will just stiffen the ride and increase carrying capacity. but at the same tmie high arc leafs will add height so as stiffness to the ride. longer shackles will increase height but be careful not to make it too tall, this will affect pinion angle and may cause drive shaft vibration. the cheapest way to lift it is to hammer your existing leaf springs, but in the long run it will revert back to original height. a good set of leafs with lift is a good investment anyway and in o way will compromise the geometry of the suspension and other components.

**afrasay** · February 27th, 2004 08:09 PM

hmmm...kaya siguro may vibration ang drive shaft ko mostly pag fifth gear ako. Sammy ang ride ko, 7 inch ang shackles.

**NightRock** · February 27th, 2004 09:26 PM

Ungas
walang auxiliary leaf yung nakuha ko na canter kaya gusto ko lagyan ng isang pang set of leaf spring

What I want for our canter is to increased a height ang loading capacity..

So what could be the best solution for this...

**Ungas** · February 27th, 2004 09:46 PM

Double tire ba yung Canter? Iba kasi ang hanger design and shackles ng karamihan na nakikita ko. Pataas ang laro ng shackles instead of your normal na pababa.

Lifting it might be unstable during turns lalo na may kargado. Meron namang nabibiling set ng leafs na may auxilairy springs to increase it capacity. You may want to try adding blocks over the axle. Pero papalitan mo ng u-bolts yan panigurado, kakapusin sa haba.
