You may also gain a bit by changing the wheels, though remember if it has 13 inch rims now and you put 14 inch on you're only gaining 1/2 inch in the radius.
You'll also be raising the centre of gravity.
Best option is the removable hitch with a dropper on it within reason of course.
M19 ROO:
--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---Older caravans had coil springs, dampers and swing axles. If you find this is what yours has then there will be a pull-rod within the coil itself having a nut on the top, tighten this nut and yes it will go up, be carefull not to induce too much camber though.
--- End quote ---
had another look before and it does have this setup....
altho quite rusty lol
just thinkin could a tow hitch be fabricated on the caravan to raise it?
very crude pic but just to illustrate the idea
muddyjames:
I have seen a trailer somewhere with that kind of raised tow hitch. Looks very bodge jobby to me imho
patroldriver1:
not recomended, and probably not legal. what about spacers between the caravan tow hitch and the chassis? just have to make sure brake linkage doesn't come into contact with floor or bottle carrier. only 4 long bolts and spacers needed....
