N70 Hilux - I got more flex from my IFS Hilux

Check the law in your state before you perform any modifications to your suspension on your vehicle.
The following ‘should’ only be used for offroad use only 🤘🏻
What I used.
- Rear leaf springs from a Stock standard Holden Colorado 'RG' series
- Extended rear bump stops (80 series)
- Extended Rear Brake lines
- 210mm - 180mm Eye to Eye Leaf shackles
- Minimum 660mm open length rear shocks
- Extended Diff breathers if necessary
- Extended Air or Power lines to rear locker
- Large bin to relocate front factory sway-bar
- Access to Hydraulic press, Jack stands, Jack, hoist tools, ect
Any Questions throw them in the comments, I'll try my best to help

This man deserves way more subscribers, love the work man, new beadlocks on the ln look lovely too 😍

[@HaydnKamp]

Cheers man! Absolutely stoked with them hey! Keen to get out and see how they go

[@nathankendall3467]

Solid video.

[@liamcan3262]

Good explanation of the rg’s but it actually comes down to the shock length when running rg’s. For stock mounts the magic length is 660 open 410 closed. Any more and the stock mounts start to bind up and then you are needing to go an inversion bar. Axle wrap is only really an issue when you move both shocks to the rear of the diff. It can be a nightmare 🤦🏻‍♂️ keep it up 👌👌👍

[@HaydnKamp]

With the big canopy I don’t think I’d want much more down travel with stock front leaf location. I’d love to do the same to the n70 like I did with the ln and move the front mount forwards to reduce the angle of the leaves on full droop. Keep the leaf pack as tight as I can and run the retainers. Cheers man! Appreciate it🤘🏻

This is Awsome man thanks heaps be interesting to compare with the 190 shackles and not resetting the leafs

Hey mate just a quick question what brand shackles u running

Is that a Tacoma??? Looks like one with that ifs front end #ln106forlyf

[@cooperread4111]

Hey mate just wondering what exhaust set up you are running as I am in the market to make my 4.0. Sounds different? Cheers

[@HaydnKamp]

Beaudesert exhaust headers then custom from that back. Running a single cat each bank into a hotdog style muffler then into the main muffler

[@matthewbarry8757]

hey mate at the moment I'm running standard length rear shackles and 300 kg leafs. if I run rg 300kg leafs and extended shackles will it raise the rear up even more?

[@HaydnKamp]

Yeah it will, I run standard factory rg leaves with two added leaves for the extra weight of the canopy and it sits at around 2inch lift to match the front. I have reset the leaves and it did gain a small amount of lift from doing so as well.

[@aussiebevo103]

Awesome video dude. Question though, how far from the springs eye did you go to? Or is it like 50cm from the centre pin? And to what ark did you go to? Or is it just a personal preference? As in do 1 leaf and use that as a “ go to “ for the rest?

[@HaydnKamp]

Ive found it’s not much point resetting close to the eyes, only little gains to be made as you get closer. Personal preference for resetting. I’ve played around with a quite a few leaf packs and have a bit of a feeling how far to push them and what works. Mainly as long is it’s got more travel in the leaf then the shocks your going to see good results.

[@aussiebevo103]

Hey mate great video, how does removing the sway bar effect on road/highway driving ?? Cheers

[@HaydnKamp]

There’s a noticeable difference with body roll however nothing too scary with the correct spring rate and sensible driving.

hey mate, what size struts you running in the front?

[@lukemoller7497]

Hey mate. Great vid! Did resetting the leafs raise the car up at all? And if so how much?

[@HaydnKamp]

It did slightly, I didn’t reset enough leaves to make any dramatic difference to ride height with the canopy on.

[@lukemoller7497]

@@HaydnKamp thanks mate. Id like to reset but not keen for the rear lift haha

[@morgancook4128]

Great video mate, how come you didn’t just get aftermarket hilux leafs?

[@HaydnKamp]

Cheers man, the leaves I used are longer from centre pin to the rear eye. It allows to run a longer shackle at a greater angle and maintain the same ride height.

[@tomrowland2929]

Hey mate the were the additional leaves you added rg ones or would stock hilux ones be able to be used

[@HaydnKamp]

They where from a Hilux leaf pack. Yeah that will be fine, as long as they are the correct length and thickness

Hello sir. I have hilux 1kd dcab. How to solve bumpy (front). Car always move left n right (all part OEM). How make it more comfort like dmax or triton?. Thanks...

[@HaydnKamp]

Have to work out wether you have an issue with it first. Or wether it’s as simple as just throwing some new front struts under it and giving it a wheel alignment

[@HellrazorrV2]

Hey mate great video! Have you got a link to those brake lines that you used? Cheers

No issues with brake lines front or rear

Any particular reason for resetting the second leaf aswell

[@HaydnKamp]

To help the wheel drop down properly and to get the rear height to match the front.

[@matttwining754]

@@HaydnKamp I thought you just reset the top leaf for downward force

Mick Power with the canopy on and loaded it makes a noticeable difference on road. With no canopy and no load there isn’t much of a change.

Nice flex ,but when you open the spring clamps the leafes doesent last long.

That’s true, they have been in the Ute for 3 years now and this video was the second time I’ve reset the top leaves. Seem to be doing well so far.

[@Dms37.]

Droop is useless u want more tuck

[@HaydnKamp]

I’ll relocate shock mounts eventually so I can reduce the bump stop height and get more up travel. It’s setup on the safe side with enough shock travel to cop a hard hit.

[@Dms37.]

The trouble is chassis clearance I ran a neg 25 with 6mm spacer an tyre still hit chassis with a true 33x12.5x15 at tuck ..
