    I recently purchased a 2021 Daihatsu Hijet Deck Van model S331W. It came with a 2 inch lift and off road tires. The first trip to the ranch I found a couple of issues I need to address. One is it rides like a one ton. Two is the rear diff needs locked. The front end has blue springs on it. I have found some progressive springs online, but don't know enough about these things yet. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    After looking looking under it in my old age, it has blue springs on the rear. No sign of a lift kit on the rear.

    I read a thread that mentioned a member making diff lockers.
    I can't seem to find such thread. Anyone know the member's name?

    Yes, it is now there, and I know what you own a 2021 Hijet Deck Van. I’ve never seen one of the newer ones in person. So, I may be just guessing.

    So, far as I know the 2021s have a separate frame and body, and a body lift is a better way of lifting them, as it doesn’t alter the suspension geometry. Typically the Daihatsus have had a ten inch long spring with an ID of 2-1/2-inches, on the front.
