A long punch and some...gentle persuasion. We call that percussive maintenance up here in the states. Been looking at taking one of the Isuzu NPRs here in the US and fitting a divorced transfer case and hefty front axle to it for some overland action, and utility/recovery work in more remote parts where big wreckers can't go. We never got the 4wd NPS models here, so every part of it is a custom job.
Looking at getting a lifted canter motorhome in from Jap - would need some suspension work before we tackle our 8-12 month long tour of aussie!! Appreciate this video alot.
So the original leaf spring has been replaced by a spring with more leaves. Unless the master leaf is lengthened as in roller style rear shackle mounting, then the working length remains the same. It would appear that a leaf spring with extra leaves has been added, which just stiffens the front axle oscillation, lifts the chassis somewhat and that's about it. As for the poly bushes, its better to keep with the silent-bloc, and keep both shackle pins well greased. Rubber hardens up under sudden compression poly does not do so with the same degree.. The same effect could have been obtained by adding leaves to the original spring..Air bags could have been used as boosters.Each to their own I guess.
Thank you for the video. It was helpful and you are conveniently located. One question I have is how easy would it be to have a suspension that could be temporarily lowered on such a vehicle while it was being shipped in a container?
So how does adding leaves help with articulation/comfort? Longer leaves yes, but I'd have thought that other than for carrying extra weight more leaves would hinder the former

The music affects the understanding of the explanation. It’s too loud.
Only thing this video doesnt tell is how much it hurts your piggybank.
澳洲的isuzu 可惜不能进中国啊
