If you're dreaming of taking your Toyota Hilux off-road in the Philippines, you're not alone. I recently upgraded my Hilux's suspension to make it more capable and comfortable for adventures on the trails.
I chose Profender's Queen Series shocks and a 2-inch add-a-leaf for a balance of comfort and performance. The installation process was straightforward, though it required some fender trimming to accommodate the larger tires.
In this video, you'll see the entire transformation from start to finish. I'll show you the old suspension being removed and the new components being installed. You'll also see the fender trimming process and the final result.
After the upgrade, I took the Hilux for a test drive on some local trails. The difference was immediately noticeable. The ride was smoother and more comfortable, and the truck handled better on uneven terrain. The larger tires also gave me more clearance and traction.
If you're considering upgrading your Hilux's suspension, I highly recommend Profender's Queen Series shocks and a 2-inch add-a-leaf. They're a great investment for anyone who wants to take their Hilux off-roading in the Philippines.
