Can anyone tell me what the stock ride height is for an L300? Im getting custom leaf springs made, would like 1-2” lift over stock. Mine are pretty worn out so I really have no idea what stock would be.
Also, anyone have a good source of info for the stock leafs? Mostly need to know what the stock arch is. Their source, which said “all Mitsubishi vans” said 5 1/2”. Which doesn’t make sense to me because mine are pretty much flat, if not bending the other way. And 5 1/2” higher from where I’m at seems like a lot.

All Mitsubishi vans... that were sold in the USA I bet. Not including the 4WD, the long wheelbase, flat-floor dually, cab-chassis, or camper van.Mr.SA wrote:Their source, which said “all Mitsubishi vans”
The rear suspension workshop manual (http://www.delica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=18456) says 4WD Mini-Bus rear springs should have an unloaded arch (camber) of 125.5mm (4.94"). Camber is measured from the centre of the eyes like so: In the "Body General" section of the reference library there's this thread, with a dimensional drawing straight out of the workshop manual that shows ride height (among other dimensions): http://www.delica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=99&t=18848
Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.

Ok thanks that’ll be super helpful. Anyone know what the arch should be at with the stock leafs installed and loaded? Or anyone with a small lift know the height of their arch?
