Hello all
Long time since i have posted on this forum but i have recently obtained a 1986 Palimino Shetland.
I was told it had only been used about 6 times in its entire life. I was amazed at how clean and new everything inside looked. If you could see it first hand you would think it was brand new.
I took my kids on our firs overnight stay in the pup to a local lake not more than 10 mins from our house. Just to shake out any bugs and figure out the best way to camp with it before we do any serious camping with it.
Now on to my question i have read this post http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/59647-Off-road-popup-build?highlight=popup and have seen on other posts that Toyota leaf springs are used to raise trailers to accept larger wheels. I have a 3500lb axle from a dual axle car trailer that i plan on shortening to use under this PUP I also have the leaf springs from that trailer can i use those leaf springs or should i just get Toyota leaf springs? What would be the difference in the springs? Thanks for any help i can get.
