Is this the best 3" suspension kit in Australia?

[@timweatherill6139]

Good to see a company putting the effort in with R&D across the board and not just up selling the same generic gear👍

[@65cj55]

Cool, it's good that all the components compliment each other.

[@OTRWA]

Definitely one thing to take into account once you hit a 3inch lift camber on the leaves...lots of shackles inverting due to the dynamics of the spring shape once you bend them that far. Good looking 76. Keen to see how it goes.

[@DanieSimpson]

most leaf springs aren't 3 inch they are two inch with an extended shackles and unfortunately the few 3" leaf packs available won't be made to suit the vehicle they're installed into. Majority of leaf vehicles would require spring hangers to be moved, redesigned etc Our 3inch spring is custom designed to suit the 76 and our engineers analyse each design and take into account many different factors to ensure they are suited in every regard. Ours have been in for a year now and undergone testing at over 4T, while still articulating brilliantly offroad. So were happy to report they're going very well:)

[@kimbullock475]

@@DanieSimpson I recently turned 60. I have learnt from experience and listening to other people. I still make mistakes but keeping it simple is best. Telling the truth after taking a deep breath or two, always works better than getting agitated; as you have demonstrated by carefully summing up the demonstrated inadequacies of other products i.e., no names and no conjecture.

[@themechanicslab]

You guys have done a quality job engineering this. I didnt realise it was a 76 series either. I thought it was a 79 initially from earlier videos. I like you have gone through multiple suspension setups and finally have been running the Dobinson MRR 3 ways and can say they are the best not only on the Australian market but also the international market. The J Race stuff will definately make an impact on the Aussie market and hopefully for you guys the international market. Keep up the good work.

[@DanieSimpson]

thank you appreciate that! nah the 79 is the ute variants :) would have liked a ute but oh well! yeah we've engineered the kit with a few different shock options so people have a choice with what brand they want to run.

thank you! and that's a shame about the wandering. and sorry what did you want to know about the engineering ?

[@monad00]

@@DanieSimpson in NSW the max lift you can go it 2 inch and 33inch Tyers so I was wondering how to get 3 inch engineered to be road worthy. Also when do you think you kit will be on the market

[@DanieSimpson]

@monad00 no that's incorrect. what size tyre depends on your vehicle, its not limited to one size. NSW can go +7% over factory (which for the 70series is 35") and can even go above this +7% with certification. NSW can also have their ride height increased up to 6" including suspension/body/tyres with certification. and yes our kit has been available for almost a year now.

Hey Danie, I found your channel through your video with Ronnie Dahl and am really enjoying your videos! In that video you say you are in the Airforce and I happen to be thinking about joining the air force too. I have finished 1 year of uni however I think i'd like to do the airforce aviation Tech gap year program as I wasn't enjoing uni as much as i thought i would. Do you have nay thoughts about this? Do you still work in the air force and if so could you recomend it? Thank you so much for your time and amazing videos you're a big inspiration!

Hi Dan First of all we missed you and the videos Awesome video as always and very educational. Can we also see videos of the manufacturing process of your products?

[@DanieSimpson]

Definitely will love to share more of the behind the scenes work of the design and analysis process, these kinds of videos will most likely go on the Jrace Industries KZbin channel:) I'll continue trying to break down the engineering side of things into more easily understandable terms though! I think that's well needed in today's world, lots of wrong info! He did indeed get all the ball throws haha

[@aminjanem6370]

Hello, How did you solve the 35” tire rubbing on the inner wall, also what did you do with the front stabilizer links

[@Peter-ll7vq]

great video, as I live in queensland and thinking very hard about getting a 70s series this channel is even more interesting. While I have many question I guess the first would be about the 3 inch kits. Yes it tricky to find them and how good they are. What about the Superior Engineering one. I can full understand conflicts of interest no stress I deal with that on a daily basis

[@DanieSimpson]

oh that's awesome to hear! yes superior was certainly one of our first options as I've run a number of their components in my vehicle before. Unfortunately all there kits at the time for the 76 come with standard 2" springs and an extended shackle which means it's not legal on road. Alot of other 3" leaf springs we found were also poorly designed for the 76 and results in a terrible ride and not ideal wheel travel. Hence how this kit came about. We designed our own setup that is able to be engineered for on road use and is comfortable but most importantly actually articulates offroad:)

[@Peter-ll7vq]

@@DanieSimpson Thank you for reply and advice

[@nicholassemple4904]

Nice work! Last time I looked at 3” for a modern vehicle in QLD there were no lane change facilities in QLD that could cater for ESC vehicles. And therefore it was only pre registered or older non ESC vehicles that could legally run 3” with a lane change cert/engineering. Has this since changed? Thanks.

[@DanieSimpson]

always been plenty of places offering lane change testing in QLD. Regardless if the vehicle has ESC or not, the lane change test is the same. ESC vehicles then require further additional testing of which there's only a handful of places in the country that can carry out this testing. Any registered vehicle with ESC regardless of model year needs to complete both of the above mentioned tests for lifts about 2". Registered vehicles that have been mod plated without passing the required testing are still not legal and can be pulled off the road. Only change is now you can certify 4" suspension

[@PhatboyHD88]

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Your current set up is already too good for my type of driving and overlanding. With couple of interior features upgrade and set of good spot lights would be more than enough. Nice rig love it.

[@DanieSimpson]

being the 70th anniversary it already is pretty fancy inside compared to the standard 70s but have added a few more additions so will be sharing those soon:)

[@intimatespearfisher]

The only advantage I can think of in a 3 inch lift is water crossings. After stopping several mates rolling these things ( lots of rock packing and winching) I would want 35's and no lift. I know that's not possible without panel work 😂. Looks cool though!

[@DanieSimpson]

if a vehicle isnt stable offroad its generally due to a poor suspension setup, incorrect springs/shock valving, removal of stability components or poor weight distribution ie. roof top accessories. 2-3" is perfect happy medium for good clearance and good CoG

[@Jack-le7vk]

I thought you said that Terrain Tamer Parabolics were the best suspension kit to run? Was it just a change of sponsorship that made you change your opinion?

[@DanieSimpson]

Definitely not. I love my parabolic springs and we install and supply them into many vehicles, I am not sponsored by Terrain Tamer. Jrace Industries is a dealer for Terrain Tamer and they often send through products to test and provide feedback on from an install perspective. I then choose to share my opinion for those who are interested. This is a 3-4" kit and Terrain Tamer do not offer a parabolic spring at those lengths so we have designed our own spring to suit.

[@TheDillon1987]

Maybe a dumb question, but with post rego mod plate.. it’s legal in your state.. so is it illegal if you drive into another state (on a trip) or is it just re modded if you re register it another state.

[@DanieSimpson]

your vehicle has to abide by the vehicle modification laws of the state it is registered in. If you drive through another state you have to abide by that states road rules but your modifications only have to comply with your vehicle is registered in.

any shackle on any vehicle can invert, this is often resolved by using the correct length spring with the correct rate for the weight of the vehicle and by using anti-inversion shackles
