BlueMax Leaf Springs
BlueMax leaf springs are designed to maximise load carrying to improve stability and to increase ride height. Leaf springs are available in designs to suit specific ride requirements.
To Role Of A Leaf Springs
Basically, a spring stops the vehicle from touching the ground and supporting the weight of the vehicle’s weight. A leaf spring is a rather agricultural design that dates back many, many years. It actually suits a purpose very well and is still used in many suspension designs these days. When developing a leaf spring design at Suspension Supplies Australia, the latest design techniques are applied to this original concept and provide an un-compromised ride that is designed to suit the loads the vehicle will be carrying. These are available in 2 different types to suit different applications.
Single Stage – Generally used for the front of the vehicle where the load will never vary greatly.
Dual Stage – More commonly used and is what is found in the rear suspension designs of many late model pickups where the vehicle’s weight
may vary. Essentially, the first stage provides a comfortable ride for the day to day use and second stage steps in when additional loads are added to the vehicle. The spring is compressed onto the second stage and this supports the load from the 1st stage.
- Thinned Diamond Cut Leaf Ends for optimal ride performance and less friction
- Military Wraps for additional strength (where applicable)
- Bolt Clips to prevent separation of leaves in articulated situations
- Anti-friction liners are installed between leaves to provide a consistent, quiet and smooth ride
- Anti-friction liners installed to clip liners to reduce noise and vibrations caused by the use of the spring
All Leaf Springs are available in a number of different load carrying options as well as our comfort range for those vehicles not used for
carrying loads. Most leaf springs are designed to provide up to a 50mm lift over the factory ride height.
