Ngl you sound like superwog when he plays the Aussie dad 😂 great vid mate

Good on you mate for getting in and having a go, was good to watch 🤙

More technical tests please... ;)

Keep recoding mate, enjoying the videos well done

Ahahahahahahaha 13:13 is absolute golden mate! Love your work keep it up 👌🏼✌🏼

I like the "did some technical tests" This reminds me of a Leyland brothers episode 🤣

This is awesome shit mate!! Back yard engineering but your actually making headway!!

Excellent work man, I've got an FGX Turbo Ute and also wondering how to settle it down dynamically, it's bog stock and agreed the rear end is a mess. Thanks heaps for your video has given me a heap more to think about, please keep us up to date on your final setup seeing as you're already doing all the hard work for me!

Hey bro ...neat trick and love the idea of using BIKE SHOCKS as a counter lever leaf dampening system...i have actually heard of someone using a bike coil over in rear drag fg sedan.....definitely going to have to catch up for a catch and cruise when lockdowns over .. Have a good one yewww🤙🤙

I did this to my XD in 1980 worked a treat

Great vid mate. My ute was savage with the lowering blocks. I have taken them out and installed tramp rids and removed rubber seats. Definitely alot better feel now. In saying that im interested in that rebound leaf on top. 👌

That's awesome 👊💥😁

I've read on a forum that a trick people do for demolition derby cars is put clamps on each leaf spring on either side of the wheel to stiffen it up.. I got a single clamp on the rear of mine to stop the leafs slapping after been reset. I didn't put a clamp on the front part. If you get your hot helper to do some more bouncing lol you will see they move/rub against each other.

I think Marcus Cripp's Speedpro Barra XD has pretty trick mono-leaf rear and Gazzard Bros traction bars that look like they actually join at the front spring hanger rather than the old police XD interceptors ones that bolted to the outer chassis rail just ahead of the rear wheel. Mate, yer having a red hot crack at it ! Keep up the epic vids 💪👍

Well there you go they knew 50 years ago yet my super pursuit 08 model still jumps around like a jack rabbit Thanks for the idea !!

Love your wprk mate keep up the good content, dont forget more technical tests ;) hahah stay safe

Nice work,👌😁

I've recently gotten a set of FG XT 1 tonner leafs and added an addition main leaf + reset the whole pack 90mm lower and I cant fault it! (1 tonner leafs have a thicker rebound spring, and solid perch instead of the rubber perch). This setup feels *so* much more planted under acceleration(stock shocks are still too soft but I will get some Konis and also stiffen up the front end). I have no axle tramp now even if I bog spinning from 1st-2nd, or not launching hard enough in 1st I can send you a photo of the packs side by side if you like

Love your work brother I’m watching. Love the thought process. I’ve got a hilux ute that I would love to also test your idea on.

If your ever down sunshine way stop into Jacob springs, we mainly do trucks, but we also do all things leave springs

Must say great work mate looking at doing this to my fg ute. Have a few questions if you don’t mind,what rubber bushing did you use and how did you get the spring noise to quiten down.

My 86 xf ute with option 36 (ex police ) has these from factory as part of option 36 is heavey duty suspensions

Hey mate great video, can I ask how your extinguisher is mounted there, looks very stable on the back wall of the cab

Flipping leaf springs is what you have done.. removing the lowering blocks will help with the comfort of the ride.. also good lowered shocks to suit the vehicle are gonna help to stop stock shocks botteming out

Great work! I enjoy your factual approach, particularly adopting motorcycle methods of measuring and adjusting. I’ve got an AU V8 manual ute was lowered by the original owner by Heasmans in Tempe/Sydenham or wherever they were back in 2001. The lowering job was done before my dad bought the ute with only 21,000km on it. It’s been my ute and bit of a beater for a few years now, and I’m realising after years of track sprinting various Subarus and getting into some reasonable FPVs and performance fords, that the suspension package Heasmans stuck under the ute works beautifully. It’s quite low, has at least 1 reversed leaf on the rear and I think the front/rear springs are Kings with Bilstein dampers. I’ve had a pretty negative view on the Kings Springs and it’s only now I’m expecting more of a couple of Falcons that I’m recognising the value of the kit that’s been fitted to my dad’s ute since 1999! I’ll be having a good clean-up under there next chance I get, to see exactly what’s under there.

met an older fella who told me about this trick but he said you take the top leaf and also turn it back to front as well as upside down he had it on an old ford galaxie and reckoned it lowered it and had it handling like on rails

About time someone worked it out when it’s done right it doesn’t let the inside of the car lift through corners I’ve done my old xh it’s way better

is the friction from the top spring going to cause an issue over time on the second spring will the shackles be over strained? Do you carry any weight in the back I use my ute for moving heavy loads at times

Nice video! what wheels are you running? they look good

Would doing this help with launching at the track,stop axle tramp/wind etc... Trying to work out how to get my Barra swapped xg to hookup better on launch. Have not had it at track yet though😥

The secret is a cutting blade on ya ,make it fit saw,facts

great vid man,wat type of clamp have u got there holdin yr phone to the steering wheel

I'm doing a flip on my Mitsubishi Triton ML 4x2. Dropping the back like cali lean. Making a 4 runner

Hey mate, looks like there's 2 rebound springs on the bottom of the pack to start with and then when you put them together at the end there's Only one? Did you remove that small bottom one? Cheers

What are those seats like? i've been looking at putting them in mine

You definitely don’t flip the main leaf with the rubber bush mounts in 😂

Definitely need more technical testing

What's the offset on the lenso's, looks a little like you've got spacers on the rear?

was I right in hearing the "Yoga" fire sound clip from Streetfighter 2

boss suspension air bags work awesome about $500 a pair

Technical tests 😂

Would a tramp/ traction bar have done what you wanted rather than the leaf? I'm sure you can get adjustable ones as well. p.s I haven't watched to the end yet, so ignore if you do go this way.

What wheel size and offset you running

You'd have a sore noggin if the airbag deployed!! Good ideas for the arse end though!!!!

How much power she runnin?

where are the wheels from

Anyone know what rims he’s running

Paint stripper your parts

Put tramp bars on it

Mate be easier to get a four link arse end be cheaper to

you know how to do this without all the fuck around? put 4 spares in the tub/tray. source: my au s1 supercab 302
