    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?

    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.

    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?

    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.
