Heavy duty springs for 130

[Floydo]

Hi
Any suggestions for heavy duty standard height springs. With the new bar and winch up front, and the back now loaded with drawers, 85lt fridge, 75lt water tank, camping gear, hopefully soon a long range fuel tank and wheel carrier with second spare. Shocks are new standard height Koni heavy trak. Currently running standard Landy coils front and back, with the help springs . Cheers

hi, have you considered rear airbags for us are great, as tow often and reduced sway when fully load roof tent ect, had airbagmans fitted 8-10 years ago ,not one issue as yet.

My 1998 130 with built on camping body has Dobinson Springs (Rockhampton Qld) and Airbag Man (Brisbane) inserts in the rear springs to replace the inner coils.

I have an approved small increase in the GVM .

The springs were worked out so that fully loaded the vehicle height at the bump stops to chassis is standard.
I think gives good ground clearance and yet carrying a load.

130 Model

3.8 ± 0.6 inches


152 ± 15 mm

5.9 ± 0.6 inches



I found Dobinsons helpful. I had to supply axle weights and gross weight, also explain that the weight was always on the vehicle. The front springs are wound to 110 rear specs and rear special wound (I think).

I found that by adding the inner air bags on the rear added to a good ride along with fitting
Koni Front 90-5374 Heavy Track Raid 0 to 50 mm
Koni Rear 90-5401 Heavy Track Raid 40 to 60 mm


No doubt other spring companies can do the same job.

This maybe of some use.
