Greetings Ironman! I have an Isuzu Dmax 2023 4x2 I bought last year and I'm still using the stock leaf springs. My question is what would be a good modification with your product I can add to my Dmax? My line of business is Bigasan so I'm carrying about 20 to 30 sacks on a daily basis which weighs 25kg a sack. What I want to do is eventually is to add a canopy in the back and have more load capacity for my rice. What product of yours that you can recommend adding to my Dmax to achieve this?
If you are loaded daily i would go with Add-A-Leaf for load. It will not give a lift and will be a bit stiff unloaded but give you excellent stability at load.
@@ironman4x4philippines20 Thank you so much for your quick reply! what if I wanted to go 25kg (1 sack) x 50 = 1,250kg on a daily baisis would you recommend Add-A-Leaf and Load-Plus? and perhaps having a Foam cell suspensions kit and UCA?
This is a very informative video. Sir I am new to cars and planning to buy an SUV (Montero Gen 3.5) for both family use and a little help in our small business. We usually go out once a month to pickup stuff from around 500-600 kgs, but that doesn't include passengers, so probably around 800kgs or even more. My concern is do we even need to upgrade parts like leaf springs, shocks, and suspension of the SUV given that scenario? If so, what will be the negative sides. We were originally eyeing on a Strada, however given the size of our family we also wanted one that can carry more people so we thought of Montero. Any reply sir I will greatly appreciate. Thank you and more power to your channel.
The montero runs rear coils sir. I think it will be a bit overloaded at 500 to 600 kgs. We can uprade it to carry more load, but it will be a bit stiff and tall at the rear without load.
@@ironman4x4philippines20 Thank you for your response. I just realized that yes it uses coils at back, thanks for pointing that out and for correcting me sir. So basically it is possible, but will feel and look akward. I wonder if you guys have already done that to an SUV before? Is it bad for the SUV to have that? Driver/passenger wise we can adjust. Thanks sir really appreciate it.

Hello there, question for you. So I have a set of "medium" leaf packs that spec wise say +400lb/181kg constant weight. I have a 2011 double cab Tacoma that I use for work (detailing) and occasional off roading. With a fiberglass topper, 100lb invertor, and occasionally I'll have up to 50 gallons/189L of water. Should I upgrade to a heavier pack or would this be sufficient? Thanks in advance
Sir i would like to ask for advice, i use my hiace commuter for carrying heavy loads up to 1600 kilos , is it advisable to use leaf spring of hilux in hiace commuter for better performance ?
I don't have a Toyota but I carry a lot of gear, I imagine the main incompatibility between leaf kits for different models of utes/pickups is the location of the bushes. Is there any reason why you couldn't take a couple of leafs of the same size or and stick them beneath your top leaf either on the primary or secondary? I've noticed some leaf packs have the same or almost the same length for some of the mid-leafs, can you add more leafs to this to stiffen the springs? If I were to do that would it be necessary to replace the shocks? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
You can stack up your own leaf pack. Ypu can do this by adding more thin leaves. The problem will most pickups is the leafsprings sit on top of the axles, and adding more leafs increases rear height. If you buy an aftermarket leaf set, the curve of the springs is altered to give a uniform height. As for shocks,if the height increases, you might need longer travel shocks.
Hello sir. For my 2020 Strada GLS 4x2 Nagbabalak napo ako ipa 2 inch lift ang Pick up ko ano Po Ang set up Ang kailangan? Or gamit? gusto ko Po Sana ung medyo nakataas ng konti sa rear . hingi Po Ako ng advice kung anong bibilin ko salamat Po godbless
Im moving on from a montero to a hilux and im very concerned about the hard ride in the back as thats what pickups are know for.. would the A spring solve my concerns?
Can the current dmax suspension be improve further for a softer ride? This is considering we never carry much load for this vehicle other than luggages and occasional extra load.
Just a tray. If you can get A leafsprings it would give you the best unloaded ride. I would go with Foam Cell shocks and either B or A front coils also.
Good morning sir. Anu po ang maganda sa comfort shackles or add a leaf for hilux conquest? Yung unit ko sir is not for loading purposes. City driving lang siya mostly po. Salamat sir.
I have a 2" lifted pickup truck with shackles at the rear. Will the ride comfort improve if I change it to ironman add a leaf? Also, can I do the ironman add leaf without removing one leaf from the stock leafspring? Thanks
Yes you can go Ironman 4x4 AddALeaf. Also, we only remove one rear thick overload (auxillary) leaf when the client wants to lower the rear a bit. Removing one doesnt improve the ride whatsoever. We will need to re-install your stock shackles though.
@@ironman4x4philippines20 But if I choose to retain the stock rear thick overload (auxillary) leaf, together with this Ironman AddALeaf, will it give me a better ride comfort overall, compared to my current lift setup with extended shackles? Thank you, sir.
can anyone suggest how to make a hiace commuter back ride more comfortable? I was thinking of comfort shackles bat i’m just worried that front bumper will be more prone to scratches due to lifted back…
Poly is a good rotational bearing and it does not mind grease, hence the greasable shackles. This way you get less friction at the shackles. Poly is not good with flex and vibration dampening, but you dont want the shackles to flex, but you want the springs to flex. As for shocks, you have a lot of angle changes so rubber is better, plus it absorbs more vibration. Using Poly on shocks will give more side loading and bending forces the shocks causing premature seal wear.
@@thegiankarlo3 that is not a problem sir. Most of the added load is at the front. You may need stiffer springs in front. Rear is fine. My Hilux runs canopy, roofrack on canopy, awning, drawers, wings, rear bumper, fridge, all on AddALeaf.

Usually the mistake is too stiff a coil. As a remedy they run the shocks on #1 setting, so they have no damping and you bounce around all the time. This is a common mistake here in Pinas.
Have you considered more than just your shocks and leafs? What tyres are you running? If you have lower profile tyres you will have less suspension and a stiffer ride. Tyres are part of your suspension (air/rubber spring).
@@Senkino5o good point. However, if you deflate the tires to soften them, you actually start the suspension movement at the tire and not the shock and spring. The bad thing is tires (air/rubber spring) are un-damped as they have nothing to stop them from bouncing around like a basketball. That is why softening the tire is a good thing up to a certain point, the point where they will not interfere with the shocks/spring ability to do their job. That is why offroad race trucks and rally cars run normal tire pressures, so the suspension can do its job properly.

All springs. A, B, C, or D. The load rating on the springs (comfort, no load, with load, heavy load, or whatever people call it) is ONLY about accessory load, not total load. Accessory load meaning things you cannot remove from the car. BUT all the springs will and are designed to load up to Gross Vehicle Weight rating of the car manuracturer, in the case of most pickups, 1 ton.

Sir i would like to ask for advice, i use my hiace commuter for carrying heavy loads up to 1600 kilos , is it advisable to use leaf spring of hilux in hiace commuter for better performance ?
No sir. The hiace uses a totally different leaf spring. You can add a few leafs on to the existing leaf pack and use Ironman 4x4s LoadPlus
Ok sir thank you for your advice
I don't have a Toyota but I carry a lot of gear, I imagine the main incompatibility between leaf kits for different models of utes/pickups is the location of the bushes. Is there any reason why you couldn't take a couple of leafs of the same size or and stick them beneath your top leaf either on the primary or secondary?
I've noticed some leaf packs have the same or almost the same length for some of the mid-leafs, can you add more leafs to this to stiffen the springs?
If I were to do that would it be necessary to replace the shocks?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
You can stack up your own leaf pack. Ypu can do this by adding more thin leaves. The problem will most pickups is the leafsprings sit on top of the axles, and adding more leafs increases rear height. If you buy an aftermarket leaf set, the curve of the springs is altered to give a uniform height. As for shocks,if the height increases, you might need longer travel shocks.

Can the current dmax suspension be improve further for a softer ride? This is considering we never carry much load for this vehicle other than luggages and occasional extra load.
Good evening sir may i know san po shop niyo planning to install load plus for my isuzu traviz
What you suggest for dmax 2019 sir? Only a tray at the back. Ps. Thank you so much. I have spent so many hours lookinh for this detailed information.
Just a tray. If you can get A leafsprings it would give you the best unloaded ride. I would go with Foam Cell shocks and either B or A front coils also.
Sir how about multicabs pick up 250 capacity can i add more leaf spring in order to add more than 250?
Yes you can. However, be careful of your loading because if we add more load, the other components may suffer. Like bearings, axles, and such.
Sir does removing the auxillary leaf and replacing it with an add a leaf decrease the payload capacity? If yes, by how much?
I think about a max load of 750kgs sir.

I have a 2" lifted pickup truck with shackles at the rear. Will the ride comfort improve if I change it to ironman add a leaf? Also, can I do the ironman add leaf without removing one leaf from the stock leafspring? Thanks
Yes you can go Ironman 4x4 AddALeaf. Also, we only remove one rear thick overload (auxillary) leaf when the client wants to lower the rear a bit. Removing one doesnt improve the ride whatsoever. We will need to re-install your stock shackles though.
@@ironman4x4philippines20 But if I choose to retain the stock rear thick overload (auxillary) leaf, together with this Ironman AddALeaf, will it give me a better ride comfort overall, compared to my current lift setup with extended shackles? Thank you, sir.

can anyone suggest how to make a hiace commuter back ride more comfortable? I was thinking of comfort shackles bat i’m just worried that front bumper will be more prone to scratches due to lifted back…
Why do Ironman uses poly bushing for leaf springs while it uses rubber for shocks and arms
Poly is a good rotational bearing and it does not mind grease, hence the greasable shackles. This way you get less friction at the shackles. Poly is not good with flex and vibration dampening, but you dont want the shackles to flex, but you want the springs to flex.
As for shocks, you have a lot of angle changes so rubber is better, plus it absorbs more vibration. Using Poly on shocks will give more side loading and bending forces the shocks causing premature seal wear.

@@thegiankarlo3 that is not a problem sir. Most of the added load is at the front. You may need stiffer springs in front. Rear is fine. My Hilux runs canopy, roofrack on canopy, awning, drawers, wings, rear bumper, fridge, all on AddALeaf.

Sir I have a question, does the leaf spring and coil spring has a difference when it comes in riding condition? Especially in uphill condition.. does the car with coil spring will have more effort in riding than leaf spring?
Supposedly no sir. However, if your leadsprings are too soft, you will get axle arap, the the rear will vibrate, or worst, dribble.
Cois sprung vehicles have rears with a 4 link or 3 link setup. This means they do bot get axle wrap as the rear axle is held in place by the links.

Hello, my hilux is so stiff even with ridemax and lovells, what upgrades should i do? Thanks! 🤟🏾
Usually the mistake is too stiff a coil. As a remedy they run the shocks on #1 setting, so they have no damping and you bounce around all the time. This is a common mistake here in Pinas.
Have you considered more than just your shocks and leafs?
What tyres are you running? If you have lower profile tyres you will have less suspension and a stiffer ride. Tyres are part of your suspension (air/rubber spring).
@@Senkino5o good point. However, if you deflate the tires to soften them, you actually start the suspension movement at the tire and not the shock and spring. The bad thing is tires (air/rubber spring) are un-damped as they have nothing to stop them from bouncing around like a basketball. That is why softening the tire is a good thing up to a certain point, the point where they will not interfere with the shocks/spring ability to do their job. That is why offroad race trucks and rally cars run normal tire pressures, so the suspension can do its job properly.

Whare are you at?
1000kg weight for which Spring use??
All springs. A, B, C, or D. The load rating on the springs (comfort, no load, with load, heavy load, or whatever people call it) is ONLY about accessory load, not total load. Accessory load meaning things you cannot remove from the car. BUT all the springs will and are designed to load up to Gross Vehicle Weight rating of the car manuracturer, in the case of most pickups, 1 ton.
So A, B, C, or D ratings are how much weight does the accessories you have installed have, in order to achieve the rated lift height.
So this is the part mostly misunderstood by sellers and clients.
Great info bro!
Thanks sir
