ironman shocks or parang "add a leaf"?

if you are looking at changing your shocks and the main objective is to soften the ride (and your rig is leaf sprung), i would suggest go for fluid type of shocks. on my gen 1 pajero, i used rancho 9's on all fours. malambot sya.

if your adding a leaf, it'll most likely stiffen your ride a bit.

hope this helps.

x-wind,

so it's like rancho's "add a leaf". from what i know you will also get a lift by going for ironman's load plus. but as i said in my earlier post, it'll most likely stiffen your ride a bit.

if your objective is getting a suspension lift without the ride being more stiff, go for the longer shackles.

so ibig sabihin mas magnda shackle rather than load plus.
what i want lang naman is di mababa yun likod pag loaded yun likod ko.

x-wind,

extended shackles or load plus? - this will depend on the condition of your leaf spring. since your crosswind is relatively new, i would assume that your leaf springs are still in good condition. the choice i guess is yours to make.

extended shackles will definitely lift your rear. adding a leaf (or replacing the shortest spring) will increase your rig's load capacity...you'll be able to load more stuff at the back.

by the way I'm from BF Pque. how about you?

hindi naman nakaka lift ang load plus eh

Additional capacity load lang ang maitutulong ng load-plus, add-a-leaf conversions. Wala nga itong lifting effect. Plus magiging matagtag yan.
