Default Re: Springs for King Hauler Dump

The option I chose was to get some of the 'mid pack' leafs made for the Tamiya Highlift, there are a couple of different lengths to choose from. Grind off the stock King Hauler rivots holding the stock spring pack together, add whatever Highlift springs you choose and bolt the pack back together with M2 x 4 bolt and nut. You will need to open up the hole in the lower plastic piece that sandwiches the spring pack to allow for the m2 nut to fit., put the bolt head side on the plastic piece that has the mounding for the long bolt that holds the spring packs to the frame. Works awesome and you have a good variety of spring combinations to choose from. I believe there are about 6 different length "mid leafs" offered for the Highlift truck.
