maybe, will have a look and see wat is still lying out there. rugger parts are hard to come by. the springs sit virtualy flat from factory. would suggest you get yours reset with a curve which will give you a lift too.
Re: Leaf Springs?
Im actually going to put the leaf springs over my diff, one side of the rugger is starting to bend the other way so was just goina c if theres any out there to replace them with. Only on the hunt for 2-4 of them.

Re: Leaf Springs?
I did the spring ova on mine and ran into steering issues. and its a 5 inch lift which is too much. made it very unstable. wouldnt recomend it. in fact advise strongly against it. resetting the spring is the anser cost about 300 a pair I think

I must of thrown those springs out. Maybe some hilux rear springs which are quite curved would help. just a couple of leafs added to yours.

My mate did his suzuki and my other mates patrol, seems to be sweet as and very cheap to get the body up (only cut and weld bracket) These are only low budget no warant wekend mud hacks so only want to spend money on it when i really have to. p.s dont think the steering can get any worse on my ruga.

Re: Leaf Springs?
front is a lot more complicated than it looks. Its not how the steering behaves thats the proplem its making it fit and work.. shit load more work than it looks. good luck.
