Rear suspension
I have a problem with rear suspension bottoming out when all are seats occupied.i suspect the rear springs could do with being stiffer. has any one else had this problem? and perhaps could tell me if there are uprated springs available .thanks Dave

Re: Rear suspension
Try fitting the Airlifter 1000 airbags from Matt Savage, they make all the difference and are easily fitted I think there might be a fact sheet in the members area.

Re: Rear suspension
lots of peeps suffer the same,and fit the above.
the solid rubber bump stops bashing the axle tube drove me mad so i made some same sized ones out of softer compound rubber, still do the job but in a less bone bashing way.

+1 for Airlifter 1000 air assisters (from Matt Savage) We often have the van well loaded with four bikes on the back as well as camping / climbing kit on board, and they have made a world of difference to the ride and handling.
