    dont....

    with the weight of the camper on the top removing the leaves will make it prone to swaying and falling over.

    get the nominal weight in it right then mess with the suspension, by the time you put 250kg in them they settle nicely if the suspensions been looked after

I'll prolly remove a couple of the leaves to help it ride smoother.
    I think I have seen one post like that, which was ignored.
    You must have been looking on another forum.

    Oh, take note of what Dave advises. What he doesn't know isn't worth knowing.

    It just seems like overkill those leaf packs. But yes I wasn't planning on touching them till its been on a trip loaded.
