Get better leafs and dampers. You are talking wheel tramp in that gibberish??? Get better leafs and dampers.

Bushes while you are there. They will be stuffed as the ones they have in them when they roll off the factory floor are shoite.

Put a couple of bags of cement in the back. That will fix the bounce. And if one of the bags is busted, eat some, and harden the f u ck up. It is a ute, not a limo :sungum:

It's a bf f6 tornado

Lol I have all my tools at the back and it slides every where

What's ate the good leaf and dampers worth? And who does them in Melbourne?

[bossmang]

stock F6?

get better tyres.

fk the 10K change over to coil overs. that's bs.

if you got tools in the back and your still sliding everywhere theres something wrong.

upgrade to better suspension and tyres.

I think my leaf springs are gone need new ones

Want to get all sway bars and struts and bushes for some track work

And yes I do need new tyres planning on so nitto semis for my Christmas Present lol

I have put timber in the back on the ute to stop tool sliding around works well

If it's sliding around that much it need balancing. Or take some lead off your foot lol.

Just putting springs and dampers in will make it great for about a month. It will be so much better. Till the newer stiffer springs beat the crap out of the OEM bushes.

Putting poly blade bushes in will stop the axle tramp a lot. better matched springs and dampers will eliminate it on all but the best sticky surfaces.

Not sure about it passing roadworthy with coilovers all round as they have not been ADR'd with coil springs on the back. I doubt it very much actually.

Really not sure about the utes as I have a sedan. But you should be able to have it rolling properly with good springs dampers and bushes for under three grand.

It might sound a lot till you feel the difference it makes. Dirt cheap really for the gains you get.
