Did some more mods on my fog 637 suspension this week results are amazing ride ,now drives like my old oka did a pleasure to drive.
First mod was to have the bottom two leaves rebent to only take up only under load. Next I installed timbren bumpstops to touch when the spring goes to a flat position under heavy load to stop a lighter spring inverting.
This week I had the top leaf replaced with an 8mm leaf instead of the standard 10mm and extended the length by 25mm and increased the camber of the spring from 100mm standard to 200 mm also fitted new shackles with nylon bushes and grease pins.
The truck now sits level and has 70mm clearance to the bump stop at rest.
Only fitted a cheap set of powerdown shocks now as next step is to have some correctly valved kings made.
This mod is quite cheap to do and is only suited to trucks with a light front end. If there is a heavy winch or steel bullbar adding another 8mm leaf would need to be fitted much the same as Dans mod.
Was going to add photos yet last time I posted photos they came out upside down and it caused grief so will get my son in law to check before posting.
