130 springs

[953]

Mate of mine with a 130 isnt carrying the weight he originally thought he would & wants to soften the rear end.
Whats his options???
Cheers Dean.

Remove the inner helper springs and see if his happy with that. Maybe cary around a bit of weight if acceptable. Could fit some 110 springs but I think they are similar just don't have the helper spring.
Other wise aftermarket springs, the world is your oyster.

If you fit the 110 springs, the ride height will drop slightly, I'd go a set of after market springs, even removing the inner Helpers will still provide a firm ride,my 130 only settles down in the suspension after about 500+kg is on board, and then just gets better closer to the 900+ kg payload.they really need to be loaded to get things working properly.

Yes agree there summit, a load settles things down heaps. A mate swapped his 110 spring with my standard 130's, and they were about 20mm taller.

Hi,
I'm looking at a set of Airbagman airbags for the back. It should help getting the slide-on camper on and off easily too.

cheers

130 outer springs are 110 springs ;)

Yep, if you remove the inner spring the ride height drops slightly, but in an unladen 130 this is far better as you actually have some droop travel in the rear now rather than have the (stock) rear dampers almost topped out.

I gross out at 3000kg with all my work gear and don't run the inner springs and the dampers I run have a lot less low speed bump valving than stock, further helping the ride quality.
