Answer: Anytime you lower a truck regardless of what you use (springs, shackles ect.) you will loose towing capacity. The reason being is that you loose travel. What happens is that when you lower the vehicle 4 inches, you become closer to the bump stops. Then when you load up the bed with a load, now you are on the bump stops. No more travel. Not good for the truck. The fix to this situation would be to use an air bag assist to help with towing.

Mono (single) leaf springs consist of one plate of spring steel. Usually the spring is tapered and is thick in the middle and tappers out thinner to the ends.

The most common method of leaf spring inspection is checking the vehicle ride height. Measure! Don't rely on eyesight alone! This method will only catch the extreme cases of spring sag or leaning. In addition to checking ride height, look for these signs, which also indicate the leaf spring requires attention: Vehicle that commonly carry extra weight, resulting in unlevel condition most of the time (family transportation, work trucks, and sales fleets).

Answer:The center of gravity, amount of weight, length of load (length of load away from the face of the carriage) and the height of the load all affect the capacity of the Lift Truck. Most Trucks are built with 24" load center. As an example, a 5,000 lb. capacity Truck with a load that is 60" long and weighs 5,000 lbs. has a 30" load center and, therefore, the 5,000 lb. capacity Truck will not handle the load.

Free Radicals are bad. They can leave the body vulnerable to advanced aging, cardiovascular problems and degenerative diseases. Free Radicals can be caused by many factors: sun exposure, pollution, stress, poor diet, alcohol and smoke. The high antioxidant qualities (12 proven Antioxidants) of olive leaf have been shown to "scavenge" Free Radicals even more than Vitamin C, Green Tea, Grape Seed Extract.

The larger Unimogs will tow up to approximately 20 tons on a properly balanced trailer. Obviously the towing capacity also largely depends upon the horse power of the Unimog and the vehicle weight.

The towing capacity of your vehicle is listed within the technical data section of the Owners handbook.

It takes approximately one week for the leaf truck to cover the village. Please rake leaves to the curb, not into the street. Please do not wait until the last week of pickup to rake leaves. Chapter 223 of the Village Code states that property owners are responsible to maintain and repair sidewalks adjoining their land, and are responsible for removing snow, ice and other obstructions.

This is not all that unusual. The Land Rover 101 series also has a two leaf rear spring. We make the 73589 spring for owners of '86' and '88' model Land Rovers who generally never use the full load capacity of their trucks but want to have the best possible combination of smooth ride and great axle articulation. Usually when these springs are installed the owner knows his typical load will be two adults plus a fair amount of camping gear.

The 73591 spring is only used on "107" and "109" Land Rovers with heavier bodies. The typical application is the "109" safari station wagon which can carry up to twelve people. The 73591 is also useful if you have a heavy camper body on a three door "109". These are great springs for expedition Land Rovers which are often loaded to the maximum.

Answer: Shocks need to be tuned with spring rates and vehicle weights in mind, that?s why one valve fits all or universal shocks just don?t optimize performance and often sacrifice ride comfort for performance. Tuned in house and manufactured by Bilstein™, this shock offers a seamless transition between comfort and control. Each shock is specifically engineered and tuned to offer the ultimate performance ride.

Depending on the vehicle, amount of drop, components used, amount of axle travel, etc. will all play factors in towing, as will what you are towing and how heavy the load is. Using a Belltech Airjack kit will help aid in these situations, check with your local retailer for a kit for your specific vehicle.

Here you have many more choices. The axle components can be replaced or repaired using conventional auto/trailer parts, such as leaf springs, brake drums and brake parts, shocks, hubs, bearings and wheels. If an axle is too far gone (rusted or broke) a new Dexter or Hadco axle can be attached, or a new Henschen Dura-torque axle can be retrofitted (see above). These wheels were actually low cost 4-lug Ford Mustang/Falcon wheels of the era.

The length of the add-a-leaf dictates its placement. Long add-a-leafs are normally installed directly beneath the main leaf (the leaf with the spring eyes). Short add-a-leaves are placed towards the bottom of the spring pack.

The 73590 spring is used on “86” and “88” model Land Rovers which are frequently loaded to maximum capacity. It is also used on "86" and "88" models which have Safari roofs and/or roofracks or which are used for towing trailers. The 73590 is also used on “107” and “109” three door Land Rovers, pickups and canvas top models where the actual body weight on the Land Rover is light.

Answer: Yes. Any time you work on the suspension system and after the ride height, it is necessary to check and adjust the alignment of the vehicle. By lowering the ride height, some camber and toe may be affected.

To lower the number of blocks go to "commands, setup, mode select, operating parameters, number of blocks". In the operating parameters number of blocks is one of the variables. Lower the number of blocks in all three fields ( current, default and saved). Change these fields, save the parameters and reformat. Please follow this link to see the screen shots on how to lower the capacity of a Seagate disk drive: Note that not all drives can have the number of blocks changed.

Yes. Vulcan can scale almost all suspensions on the market today whether spring or air or mixed. Contact Vulcan to verify if we can scale your particular application.

Add-A-Leaf is a extra leaf added to a leaf spring pack. Add leafs are installed to increase vehicle carring capicity or to create a firmer ride.. They are also used to lift vehicle ride height. The number or leafs added and the thickness of the leafs directly determine the percentage of ride quality/height change.

Because diesel burns slowly, not all of the fuel is ignited. The unburned fuel ends up going out through the exhaust system. By introducing the hydrogen and additional oxygen into the engine, it intensifies the initial blast so that almost all of the diesel fuel is ignited, producing significantly more power. The average dynotest indicates an increase in torque of approximately 3% to 5%.

Driveline correction methods are incorporated into virtually all of Superlift's suspension systems. For example, our rear lift blocks are tapered to rotate the axle pinion upward to reduce driveline angle and eliminate vibration. Our replacement springs have a tapered degree shim attached, where applicable, to accomplish the same thing. Rolling the pinion upward also restores some shaft spline contact.

More than likely the axle was made by Hadco Engineering, a supplier to Airstream in the 1950's. You can either maintain the brakes as hydraulic, which requires special mods to the tow vehicle, or you can convert them to electrical operation. Both hydraulic and electrical components are still available from Hadco.

The add-a-leaf utilizes the stock main leafs while eliminating the factory overload leaf spring. It greatly improves the on and off-road ride while providing 1.5 inches of lift. The full Deaver leaf pack is an entirely new pack including new u-bolts, bushings, sleeves and American made steel springs. The pack is designed from the ground up to provide your Toyota with the ultimate in off-road and on-road performance.

According to the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, installing aftermarket parts onto your vehicle does not void your warranty unless the dealer can prove that the part directly caused or contributed to any vehicle failures. In principle, lifting and lowering your vehicle does not automatically invalidate your warranty. However, there are always loopholes and gray areas in the law. Before you make any modifications to your suspension, be sure to reread your warranty and talk with your dealer.

Dinghy towing - towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. When towing your vehicle, turn the ignition to LOCK. Two-Wheel-Drive Vehicles Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not be towed with all four wheels on the ground. Two-wheel-drive transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication while being towed. To properly tow these vehicles, they should be placed on a platform trailer with all four wheels off the ground. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL.

Dolly towing - towing your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and two wheels up on a device known as a "dolly". Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not be towed with the rear wheels on the ground. Two-wheel-drive transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication while being towed. To properly tow these vehicles, they should be placed on a platform trailer with all four wheels off the ground. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL.

Absolutely!

Vac trucks produce much higher suction pressures and airflow than are needed by the Vacu-Boom; however the booms are equipped with adjustable air bypass valves. These valves can be adjusted to allow boom operation with any high volume vac system.

Yes.. Your truck will handle as if it is loaded. Each truck will handle the curbs and side sway differently. Handling will be similar to that of a small camper without the wind affects. Two place carriers are recommended for use on 3/4 ton and larger capacity trucks. Side Load Carriers will offer improved stability over that of a RearLoad Carrier, SideLoad Carriers center the weight directly over the bed of the truck with little to no overhang outside the truck wheel base.
