I Installed the WRONG Suspension on My D-Max… Here’s What Happened

I installed new suspension on my Isuzu D-Max… and straight away something felt off. The rear was sitting too high, the ride wasn't as smooth over bumps, and I even started getting a shudder on take-off. At first, everything looked fine — but it turns out I was running the wrong springs for my setup. In this video, I walk through exactly what went wrong, why it happened, and how swapping from the ARB Old Man Emu PB027R Parabolic Leaf Spring to the Old Man Emu PB026R Parabolic Leaf Spring completely transformed how the ute drives. If you’ve got a tray setup or you’re looking at upgrading your suspension, this is something you definitely want to understand before choosing your spring rate.
