Looking at getting a bit more flex in the rear and like the idea of the RG swap.
Trying to work out how it all works. I was told my ute has a 2" suspension lift front and rear when I bought it. Few questions I'm thinking about at the moment:
- Would the lift installed already mean I have longer than standard springs and shackles?
- Are aftermarket springs for lifts longer than standard?
- Have people used standard RG springs or aftermarket?
- What length is a standard shackle and how do I measure them?
Has anyone done this/progressed or anything since this was active? Any updates/help appreciated.
Cheers

Really appreciate your input and reply. I certainly have noted many questions and few answers across many platforms regarding this conversion, hence me trying to find answers.
I completely understand what you're saying about components made for specific cars, I have been seeing this RG swap a lot more recently and want to know more/see if it is a valid option.
My Hilux currently has a 2" suspension lift with really hard springs (not sure the specs) so it sits quite high at the back and is a very rough ride with an empty tub which is about 80-90% of the time.
I have a few reasons I'm looking at changing springs, completely open to suggestions as to the best way to achieve what I want, just looking to see if RG leaves is viable as it seems to be quite popular lately.
I want to achieve the following:
- Softer springs for a smoother ride
- I actually want the rear to sit slightly flatter
- More droop/flex from the rear end for offroad
If there is a legal way to achieve all of this and as much flex as can be seen from the RG leaves I'm all for it.
