Do I or do I not use a HR hitch to tow my 21ft 6 van?

I phoned Landrover Australia to be told by some young lady
that they don't keep that sort of info there and was put through
to a car sales yard some where. There some kid said he didn't know
and I was put on hold until I spat the dummy and hung up.

The LR dealer I bought the vehicle from said they didn't know either.

So in a word HHHEEELLLPPPP!!!

PM's or emails welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ALIBARBER,

Yes you can use a a HR hitch including weight distribution with your coil sprung D3. Same principles as any other coil sprung vehicle. .........however do not use weight distribution hitches with air suspension LR vehicles.

Are you running OEM springs or is the system up-graded ?

Thanks for the info guys.

Neip P I beleive it's original. Every time I try to get outside to check it starts raining again. Any suggested upgrades would be appreciated.

I met a guy in Darwin who had jacked up his Nissan Patrol to open up
the springs and forced tennis balls in as a version of air bag.
He said if one blew he just replaced the ball and that it worked a treat.
