    County Owners - Load Leveller Poll

    So - who still has a load leveller in their county? And what suspension are you running?

    No load level. Pretty sure they are still the standard springs, as she doesn't look propped up like others at the rear, but not 100% sure as like it when I bought it.

    You left out the answer "still there but I know darn well it doesn't work", which is my position.

    Replaced the rear springs about eight years ago with standard (non-levelled) springs. Noticeably rougher ride, but doesn't bottom when loaded. I would prefer to get the leveller fixed or replaced and go back to the original springs, but can't afford the leveller (springs are not that expensive!)

    load leveler

    I was thinking it would be good to have some sort of manually controlled air operated device in there.
    I haven't really looked at it, but maybe one of those air bags that you see fitted over the top of a leaf spring.
    That you could have a compressor on board or inflate it from a service station compressor like the old air shock that I had on my Falcon.

    Sorry mate - I am pretty sure mine doesn't work either.

    I have heard of someone dismantling their load leveller and using a cut down gemini coil spring to replace the hydraulics. Should allow the rear to flex better than removing it completely.

    Load leveller removed from my current and previous Countys...both times before I bought the vehicles, so I couldn't tell you the difference with and without them. I fitted King springs (standard height) into both, and this seems to work fine for me.

    Cheers

    Still there, no idea if it's working or not. Haven't got to the back end yet, still working on the front.

    My previous county (since sold) had the load leveler in it and it worked. Originally it had hvy duty springs but was too stiff when empty or lightly loaded (didn't have much gear) so put some original V8 county rear springs in. Much improved articulation, but noticeable increase in body roll. (was able to lift front wheel 24inches with forklift and keep other wheels on ground). With a big load (9 people) it still bottomed out over big dips.

    Lovemyv8county, do you have some pics of the coil replacement airbags you are running? I would be very interested in seeing what the setup is like. Does it give the same travel as the original springs?
