Running mu rear leafs up fromt with 2 inch extended shackles. Need to swap out front crossmember i made to a beefier one, and these leaves in front are bent from being in the rear with a spring over. Am toying with the idea of kicking the leaves to the curb and installing radius arms and 10 inch coilovers, certing leaves is proving quite difficult.

Re: SAS on the cheap
Im guessing you are struggling with local vocabulary. New Zealanders dont always talk English in a form that translates easily
Leaf springs from the back of the Mu used in the front with extended shakles
New front crossmember (not it the quote but there will be clearance issues to the driveshaft)
The leaf springs are bent because they were used in a spring over axle conversion
Thinking of not using the front leaves and going to radius arms and 250mm coil overs as certification for leaf springs is hard

Re: SAS on the cheap
that looks so cool, I wish I knew more about doing that. I've got an 03 hilux front end sitting next to my garage for a year now. so coils are better than leaf springs for conversion on a mu? how much are those coil springs they look like the price of a mu off trademe.
Re: SAS on the cheap
Yeah not cheap haha. I paid aroun 1.5k for the pair from trundles. I went for coilovers for something different and i didnt like the feel of the leaves, nor the hassles it was gonna be for cert as far as bump steer tests etc
