Load Hog helper spring

[Niel]

I saw this product on the rear spring pack of a 94 SFA. Now

What is you opinion on this product? Will you fit it? and why

If I remember correctly these "spring helpers" impede the articulation of the rear wheels Niel. They are great for carrying load on dirt roads, but not for off-road use.

At the mall you don't really need exceptional articulation

Het jy al Tygervallei se paaie gesien :roll: (bosvarkie se suspensie het nou nog n knou weg) ...dan sal jy n ander storie gesels

Like Thys said, they are not suitable for heavy 4x4 terrain... but that's not what they are intended for, these devices are there to assist the rear suspension when carrying heavy loads(hence the name 'Load Hogs'), like overlanders do, they offer major assists when travelling at speed on highways as well as on gravel roads... I have seen a set fitted to an SFA, when deflated they don't hinder articulation... I wouldn't mind a set... but I am rather thinking along the lines of a small offroad trailer, to carry the bulk of the weight, instead of ladening the vehicle to heavily...

Niel I'm not entirely sure how they would cope with your weight... may need a heavier duty one on the drivers side...

Snip, you have a PMs

Ok ok. Britney. Will it not curve the spring pact and create a bit of a lift?

Soos jy jou hare curve, daai tiepe soort curve.

They are great for carrying load

Ek het in 97 n stel op my tolla Van gehad wat 99% met n vrag geloop het en kon nie kla nie maar het nie off-road gedoen met die voertuig nie, vir vrag dra is hull 100%

[Umvubu]

Nie so goed vir off-roading. Soos die manne sê, uitstekend vir wanneer jy vrag dra.

I have a pair on my SFA, but I carry a heavy load if I go overlanding. Definitely helps with the sag of the standard springs. They are relatively easy to adjust to suit the need.
Air springs apparently better, (I'm saving for mine :) )
The Load Hog springs tend to shift a little bit, but nothing major. They can interfere with the handbrake cable, I extended the handbrake levers a little bit.

Cheers,

My brother bought a 2004 Legend 2700i 4x4 with lots of extras a few weeks ago.

One the extras is Firestone air suspension.

I suppose these would also effect articulation?
