Holden Colorado Rear leaf springs upgrade | Toughdog 300kg Constant load

- It's about time I got around to installing a set of new leaf springs on the rig to finally handle the weight I carry when camping. I paired the new leaf springs with some polyurethane bushes to replace my old damaged factory rubber ones.

enjoyed the vid, ive loaded up my rear end and noticed my leafs are touching the secondary leaf , time to upgrade constant load to 500 kg i reckon i can do this myself .your a natural born teacher
thanks man, after just getting a quote for mine i think my Col might be a DIY now
Hi Colin I did the same 300kg constant on LDV T60 as I have a a Canopy and tools as well. Improved heaps but seems to roll too much. Not too sure if I should go rear airbags, rear shocks or look at front HD sway bar on the front or new coil springs. Thoughts?
Front larger sway bar is better but you should get a rear one. I have one ute with one, one without.
Yeah id look at upgrading your rear shocks as they are what controls the compression of your leafs. Also adding a rear swayer would benefit for on road but restrict your articulation off road unless you could disconnect it
Hi. I have to increase the rear leaf springs as well and not that I'm towing a van full time I'd have to add the towbar weight of that as well I guess but at the same time trying not to make it too stiff in the back end. Do you have any thoughts on that aspect? TIA
Hi Colin, I'd look at setting up your rear suspension for your daily weight, then install air bags when loaded up with the van to handle the weight
Looks good man, mine are the same sitting pretty flat. I have a canopy full of work tools so I'll probly have to go 400kg or so springs
yeah just try and figure out the weight you'd roughly be carrying so you don't go too stiff, otherwise it'll make the car ride crappy
@@KustomProductions16 do you include the tray and canopy in the weight?
I didn't include the tray in my calculation but Im not sure if your meant to or not. I did include the canopy though
What size tires are you running on the dmax? Any scrubbing issues? What is the rim offset? Thanks
hi, I'm running 33's on 0 offset rims. they do still scrub after a lot of cutting but its a colorado so a dmax might be different. Have a look at my body mount chop video where I first installed and talked about the wheel setup
Gday I’m not too sure what rating leafs to get all I have is a steel tray and toolbox, any ideas?
It all depends on the weight and what you want to use the car for. I'd recommend talking to your local suspension expert for the correct advice
Love the video's what did you do with the superpro Lift Kit
Appreciate it man! I removed the rear lifting block to cater for the 2” springs. But the front still has the strut spacer installed
Are they 2 inch lifted springs or just the same as the ones you took out?
They are 2 inch lifted springs, that's why I removed the lifting blocks
is it nice and level? or little higher at the back? how many mm higher? before and after? thanks
it roughly sits level and seems to stay level when loaded. I did say at the end of the video the height difference so just check that out cause I can't remember haha
@@KustomProductions16 thanks champ, yeah mate I've got 2ich at front and standard at back, should I get standard but 300kg load rating or 2ich at back aswell? Don't like sitting too high at the back haha,
@@thehulk7360 just raise the front only
How come your shackle go through the chassis
I think it’s meant to??
Backyard wannabe don’t listen to him lol
