I'm wondering if anyone has done this? I stumbled across this product that might just be what I need although can't find much info about it.

https://www.western4wdandoutdoors.com.a ... 15-7-2018/

I have noticed my ranger rear leafs are a little saggy with my constant weight in the rear they are only 15k old so seems like a shame to replace them so soon. I have worked out that I have added about 220kg of accessories to the rear tub that I constantly carry this could be slightly higher depending on how much stuff I put in the drawers and fridge.

Ideally I would just put some larger capacity leafs in but my issue is that it will more than likely raise the height of it and then I won't be able to get it into my garage.

Thoughts?

Undertake the Gerryp leaf flip. Best mod for zero dollars. Works great. Or alternatively I can supply brand new px3 leaf springs cheap

GerryP leaf flip? maybe it could be something I could try if not was leaning towards a 0-300 spring. I'm hoping with the weight that I have in it I will be able to keep the height down. If I go more than 20mm over the standard 600mm wheel to arch gap I will have to park on the street.

It'll be fine. Try it. You have nothing to loose. Have been running it for several years in all manor of conditions including heavy duty off road and heavy long distance towing. Works terrific

I ran the flipped leaf towing van, loaded tray, for plenty if km with no problems. Good cheap mod.
