Getting to know the basics of a Superior Engineering rear coil conversion for Hilux’s

While leaf springs do a great job of locating the rear diff and holding up a load, they are not always the best combination of ride quality and offroad performance. A coil conversion replaces the standard leaf spring suspension system from your vehicle and replaces it with a set of heavy duty upper and lower control arms (or links) to locate the diff and transmit power and torque more efficiently. Then coil spring mounts and chassis reinforcement plates are added to complete the coil spring location suspension setup.

Replacing factory Hilux leaf springs with coil springs delivers superior vehicle ride and suspension performance with a setup that is better for both everyday ride quality and all-round offroad performance. A large range of coil springs and air bag helper configurations are available to suit every load condition. Chassis bracing is part of the kit and will make sure the vehicle can handle the weight without damage. The high tensile control arms provide added diff clearance and the ultimate in strength for travelling offroad.

A coil converted Hilux is built to perform in a range of different environments - so whether you’re a casual weekend wheeler, offroad warrior, outback tourer or a driver that needs reliable heavyweight suspension for large loads, we have the right lift kit for your needs.
