Well the kit is from Cal-Offroad, and as i believe there Dobinson spring. But hopefully it goes down otherwise i may have to get a drop-diff kit

Did you by any chance order stronger than normal springs to accomadate a winch without having a winch on? that might make a difference.
Jack S wrote:Well thought it would be about time i made my build. Ive been on here for a while, and finally the lux is going to get bit of a make over in the comming weeks/months! As Max is going to think, about bloody time .
The hilux is a 2007 turbo deisel 4x4 dual cab!
Well i bought the lux off my grandparents little while ago but havent done anything to it. They had a steel tray and toyota bar already on it. The tray is great yet i plan on getting a tube head board as it has a square on at the moment. The bar will also be heading off shortly in place of a tjm bar with scrub bars and side steps.....
The hilux is mainly used for driving to and from work yet i go off-road when i can, so i guess like everybody i am looking for a great all rounder!
The things that ive done:
* Well i fitted a new GME 3220 and AE4705 antenna (6db) a few weeks ago.
* Upgraded the speakers to Apline type 'S' all round.
* Ultimates Sprint Booster.
* Widows tinted.
* 225/70R16 Goodyear Dura-Trac's.
* Seat belt beeper mod.
* Constant power to windows mod.
Things i got planned:
* Well i ordered a 3" billie kit from Cal Offroad the other day. Everything turned up yesterday except for a leaf spring, which the company (TNT) dont even know where it got too . As you could expect i was a very angry man because i had planned to fit it today. I just couldnt understand how they can make a 30kg leaf go missing, it aint the easiest thing to loose i would think. Now it will be fitted soon as they find my other leaf, when ever that may be! .
* 265/75R16 BGF KM2's, not sure on wheels yet.
* TJM delux bar with scrub bars and side steps.
* Lightforce XGT's.
* Rear ARB locker with compressor.
* Power module.
* Upgrading stock headlights to HID bulbs.
* Alpine head-unit and amp.
* And a few other things here and there (i could make a never ending list).
* Skog's Diff Breathers.
* Angel eye headlights.

She will be right mate.
Just quicky looking at the springs they look to be 17mm wire diameter. and like Troy said.. Very OME 884 or 885 in looks which means they may sag a little.
If you know how to use a vernier caliper and could let us all know the wire diameter ( which can be measured whilst in the vehicle) along with free length of spring if you measured it before you installed it.
