helper springs

(1/2) > >>

william127:
think my classics gonna need helper springs as the boot always has 3 ammo boxes and a wooden rack in and i need to carry 2 or 3 hundred kilos of sand every so often, what type is best- air bags or secondary coils (like camel discos)? any make/model  highly/not recomended? thanks, william

BAZZ:
127, have you had a look in some of the Caravan Mags, I've seen an advert in one of them but can't remember which one for the air assist rear suspension. Bazz.

waveydavey:
the cheapest and easiest way if a bit basic is that you can get ruber that goes between the coils to stiffen them up; ten minutes to fit.

This always makes me laugh though; it is an ongoing problem with so many vehicles how to stiffen the back or keep it level with load. Land Rover come up with probably the best system ever to completely do away with the problem and so many people think the best thing you can do is rip it off again and fit coils.

The best approach: Get a RR with air suspension; the problem o levelling disappears as soon as you turn the key.

The other thing is with the classics the self levler (if it is still on it) if it is you sould be ok but if you need to replace this its not cheep  you could try what my m8 has with his heavy duity +1 then you dont have to alter other things like break pipes I got a quoat to do back only fitted and supplied  £100 when I had the job done £87 but in the end just went standerd heavy duity and seemed to be ok

ChrisV8:
My RR has Spax adjustable shocks with "helper" coils on them, used by caravanners I understand, but excellent on the road and off road as well.
