Improved load carrying and towing ability and ground clearance.
nDo you use your Hilux for load carrying and/or towing? Then Pedders Suspension have the solution for you. This kit features our excellent Pedders TrakRyder Foam Cell shocks, front coil springs, new rear leaf springs as well as the necessary bushes and U bolts to install them. Additionally, it has supplementary air bags.
nThis kit is our second level heavy-duty kit and is designed primarily to raise the vehicle and improve its load carrying and towing ability. If your Hilux currently sits low at the rear when towing or load carrying, but you still also operate in the unladen condition, then this kit offers a significant improvement compared to the standard vehicle.
nThis kit is for those who subject their vehicle to significant changes in load on a regular basis, and for whom the fully laden condition is greater than our Heavy Duty kit 803239 can accommodate, and where a stiffer rear spring would introduce an unacceptably harsh ride in the unladen state. Typical applications are vehicles used by window cleaners with a large water tank installed which will vary from empty to full.
nThis kit improves the load carrying ability compared to the standard Hilux rear spring whilst still allowing operation in the unladen state. However, our rear spring, combined with our specially valved shock, allows us to retain a level of ride comfort unladen comparable to the standard vehicle. For more information on how we achieve this, please see our technical pages.
nWhilst the rear spring in this kit is heavier duty than the standard spring, there is a limit to what it can support. To assist with this, this kit comes with supplementary air bags. These are installed between the rear leaf springs and the chassis rails. The kit as supplied requires these to be inflated with an airline (the same as used to inflate your tyres) when heavily laden in order to raise the rear of the vehicle to an acceptable height. An “on board” air option is available by purchasing our kit 499000.
nThis kit will raise the vehicle by approx. 40mm (see actual dimensions below) allowing better ground clearance and improved looks. Can be used to accommodate larger tyres. The dimensions quoted assume a standard vehicle. If you have additional equipment on board at the front such as a winch or bull bar, this will affect the final installed height. If this is the case, please contact us as it may be necessary to supply different springs for your application.
nFor those using the vehicle in a continuously laden state, consider our Extra Heavy Duty kit 803241.
nThe fully assembled Ezifit struts in this kit allow quick and easy fitment to your vehicle. These feature a Pedders Foam cell shock, Pedders spring as well as new top mount bump stop and boot. No need to use spring compressors or re-use any old parts. Simply bolt straight on.
nAfter fitting we strongly recommend a wheel alignment is carried out for optimum performance of your vehicle. Still not sure this is the correct kit for you? Have further questions? Then please do get in touch with one of our team here at Pedders who will be able to assist you.
