heavy load Rear Suspension?
i been wondering if there is a way to get the rear of tamiya trucks to carry more load? i have now two dump trucks and bottom out way before the truck is loaded. i not wanting to over load the trucks but i do live in florida and heavy wet sand is kind of a normal thing, our water table is really close to the surface.
i put beach sand and rocks in the trucks, the drive train seen to be fine the the suspension is like " oh no" so any ideas? i still want some kind of movement i do drive on the road and at a good speed, well for a truck. any would be great!

Re: heavy load Rear Suspension?
I have added more leafs to my spring packs on some for my trucks using the spring bag from a tamiya f350.

add more springs or a walking beam set up. I added a walking beam to my 1/4 frame end dump and it lets the suspension travel yet it keeps it from leaning when the box is raised. I think the beam is 1/4" x 1/4 " square....aprox 6.3mm x 6.3mm

Re: heavy load Rear Suspension?
I've seen others use the spring pack from the F350...they F350 springs don't come ready assembled like the tractor truck kits. That way, you can choose how many leaves you have so you can build the springs to your own spec

Re: heavy load Rear Suspension?
On my dump trailer i replaced the internal springs on the shocks with ones from a hardware store that were much stiffer and stronger. This eliminated a lot of suspension drop and wobble when loaded with dirt on my frameless dump trailer... i think i paid $.40 a spring.. just take a shock in and look through the springs and see what fits. My springs were longer but fit with the cap on and added more stiffness. I shopped ACE Hardware. Not sure if you have one of those.

Re: heavy load Rear Suspension?
LOL im in the same boat. those heavy haul loads with my globe permanently flattened out my rear suspension. It rides on the bumpers .. Debated on those chinese sets but not sure if im just peeing 150 bucks away that way or if they can really do 150-200lbs
