    Interesting - I can't decide if that would help or cause more bouncing of the van than usual? When my van is behind the 101, they both cop a lot of abuse - I can almost see the benifits if you have harsh suspension.

    How much are they? - Not cheap I bet...

    Yeah, even behind the Captiva and now the Hilux, no issues at all, but I've only got a light van. This will appeal to those with massive nose weights on their 3,500KG monsters that require hydraulic jockey wheels to get the 300 plus KG off the towbar.

    Looks like a very well executed idea ... Has a lot of merit, but like Pedro said, for me with SLS and a 200-250kg ball weight towing a 1500kg load, the SLS is superb without any shock transfer back through the vehicle.

    Horse floats, it'd be a winner.

    Not that I think I will need one for my New Age Manta Ray Delux semi off road van, but I wonder if they work with DO40 hitches?
    Great peice of Australian design there either way.
