Suspension springs.
I think my Bongo is a bit soft in the suspension department, seems to roll a lot in corners. Now I appreciate its a van but I did a bit of research on tinternet and found a local spring manufacturer who can "reset" my springs. Apparently they put them in a furnace stretch them to origional length and then put the bounce back, I'm sure theres a bit more to it than that but you get the idea. Question is what is the length of a new rear spring?
I would say that the ride height looks ok, but again not sure what that should be.
Also wondering about air bags in the coil spring.
Last question, recommendations for replacement rear shox?

Re: Suspension springs.
Standard shocks are really pretty good and seem to last. I've fitted a set of AIRLIFT airbags kit 80777 and a pair of 09112 extra spacers into my springs.....they work a treat - no more hitting off the bumpstops!
