Uprated suspension springs

[James Cox]

Good evening all! I have a 2 seat utility which is boxed out to carry tools and parts as a service vehicle. With me sat in it on a weigh bridge it is 3440kgs, so 60 kgs off max. Weight. It drives and carries the weight well, but does sit a bit lower at the rear. I want some uprated rear springs to get it back up to normal kerb height, but not sure where to source in the uk? The dealer has suggested aftermarket rather than through Ineos….

Is the Eibach lift kit available in the UK? It is in the US and Australia. In Australia now you can three different spring ratings (Standard, Heavy Duty and Extra Heavy Duty). The Eibachs come out of Germany.

I'd suggest the Eibachs are too low of spring rate. We really need a source for some HD springs.

Somewhere I saw the ozzys have a nice in cab adjustable airbag kit. I’ve used airbags in class 4 roads with success much to my surprise. Don’t see why they would work well in this application.

He can look at item 4, 5 (air bags) and 11 (adjustable). And I think MORE4x4 may have one also.

The Extra Heavy Duty (XHD) Eibach springs – Minimum constant load 300kg, are pretty beefie...is it ball weight or just a constant load you are concerned about?

I have just ordered my Eibachs after discussing the pros and cons with the service bloke at XHQ, because of my type of typical driving and towing weights the standard will be fine because they are already a stronger rated spring. They are the same height as the originals but the vehicles height gain is due to less sag and I won't have to wear a kidney belt
