Just after fitting a set of uprated leaf springs to my citroen relay camper van,the rear end was starting to sag a bit so I had a company in Belfast make me an extra leaf,this has resulted in the rear now sitting nice and level and up an extra two and three quarter inches,handy for carrying all that extra wine back from France .Took it on a test drive today and it seems to be handling even better than before.

Fantastic petie its great when one is satisfied with the work done. I like your idea of taking more good French wine back from France. You have definitely got you're priorities right.

I was tempted to fit the air suspension myself Ally but the cost was too high ,I have the springs for less than half the price, more money for the wine Jack, :D

Sure the air suspension doesn't increase your legal carrying capacity? or dose it?

Air suspension fitted to mine and it gives much better stability especially on roundabouts

I feel air suspension should be standard fitting on all Motorhome as it makes such a difference.
