Hi All
I will be using the Ex for the first time to tow the caravan at the end of October so I am looking for advice regarding the rear suspension.
At the moment it is standard Self Leveling and looks like the original springs and shocks. Also the springs dont look to have much "bow" on them, they look straight-ish, is this how they are, what will happen when I put some weight on them??
I am of the school of thought that prevention is better than cure so I would prefer to upgrade now rather than wait and see how it copes.
I have read many threads on the forum but I couldn't distill the information into a coherent way forward
What opinions do you have for upgrading the springs and shocks for towing. FYI it is a big twin axle caravan with a noseweight probably of 75-100kgs?
Thanks in advance
Chris
