Stiffer leaf springs for Hilux pickup

[pinxos]

I have a '94 Hilux 4x4 Pickup which i use for carting around hardcore, soil etc. The ride is a bit "bouncy" to say the least. Could the leaf springs and/ or shock absorbers be "worn out". Would replacing the shockers make any difference and/or is it possible to get hold of stiffer leaf springs ??

You want uprated springs to hold the load, but they'll feel harder if you have nothing in it.

If you don't want to mess with the unladen ride, I'd get some Procomp 9000 Nitro shocks and see how it handles with the new shocks. You can always then uprate the springs later.

I can get you springs and shocks if you have trouble finding some.
