Re: Spring change for the KJA

Re: Spring change for the KJA
Going to try stripping the rear leaf springs over the weekend to gain more flex.
I have bedford rascal ones on the back, give great lift but are rock hard
They are 3 leaves plus a short flat one at the bottom if you know what i mean.
1, Any idea how many i should remove
2, Which ones
3, As the kja is so light, can i get away with just the main leaf
It never has any load in the back so its really light. Even have the rear tyres are
running at just 10psi on the road to try and soften the ride.
Regards Allan.

Re: Spring change for the KJA
not sure on that one, maby try just removing one and see how it goes,
did you have to do much to fit the rascal springs, the springs on mine arnt great and need replacing but with the extra weight of my bdd and winch ect and going to be carring loads, im wondering if rascal springs would suit me better.

Re: Spring change for the KJA

longer shackles.
