Thanks for your very quick response johnny, they only seem to stock heavy duty leafs  for my model and  I don't know whether to replace with these or not. Thanks again for that.

Hi


Might be an idea to phone a spring specialist for advice. There are  several on the web, here are a couple:

apologies for the brief reply I didn't have time to check their stock .
I should't think that fitting heavy duty springs would have any issues at all other than the extra cost. It would mean that there would be less bounce and flex which might not be a bad thing.
If you think about it most delivery and minibus vans probably have H Duty springs but run around all day with just light packages in the back .

I believe its not difficult to add and remove leaves from a leaf spring .

Leaf springs sure are expensive !

Worth giving these chaps a call too. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]  If they don't stock they will be able to advise.

I had sagging rear springs on my mk 4,,Had rubber auxiliary springs fitted and it cured the problem. Raised the rear end and really improved the cornering. Not air suspension they were hollow rubber springs. A guy came out and fitted them. Sorry but have not got contact details. Will have a look on line,,BUSBY65.

Spoke to a very helpful guy at Transitparts and have now ordered heavy duty leafs, bushes and U bolts. Thanks to everyone for all the help and tips, it's a very good community we have here.
