My dad usually deals with the technical stuff, but I seem to remember something about not tightening the springs to the chassis/spring hangers, jacking the axel till the vehicle lifts, then tightening the bolts. Not quite sure. I can ask him when it's not 12.30 am!!

That's for original-type springs. The instructions for Paras specifically states not to do that. Might try it though, cos they do sit low with any weight in the back. (Yeah - I've got CP 2-leaf as well....)

I got really annoyed with them, so he said I could up grade for a small some of money, which i was a bit p###### off at really as I have already had to upgrade the shocks to better ones :x the 3 leaf ones should hopefully solve the problem

There are ok if the nuts come undone, worth having a replacement set of U bolts for replacement, and also hanger bolts they can be a dog when they sieze in the bushes, we couldn't release the last ones for love or money, finished using an air hacksaw to limit damage, then pressed the old bushes out, a lot easier to work on removing the old bit out from under the vehicle
