The springs dilemma: Stock springs work best with an empty car. When the car is fully loaded and fitted for adventure it sits deep in the springs. Clearance under the car suffer. Not ideal.
With harder springs it is the other way around. An empty car is like a springbok on the road.
Some pickup trucks have air assisted suspension to compensate for this dilemma. I have only seen it on cars with leaf springs. There you have enough room to stuff air bellows between frame and axle.
Are there such systems for spiral springs? Something that can be adopted on the Gren?
