Anyone bothered with 4x4 double cab tipper?

[Darrin Turnbull]

How about a 4wd, double cab, tipper with a crane on a car license and a ton payload apparently?! 
 

 

 
 

Are you tempted. These Bitser type vehicles are always interesting.

Don't put heavy duty leafs on . Put " helper"  leafs on . They only come into play when there is a load up .

We are about to do this on an Iveco tipper, but were going for coil  helper springs.

 

Any feedback on using leaf or coil helper springs on this type of vehicle would be greatly appreciated.

Ok . Well I can only tell you about the leaf type . They are a half leaf with a simple U bolt attachment with a greasable roller that bears on the existing leaf when thee is sufficient load to make that happen . So under normal driving situations they don't affect the ride but as soon as a load is applied  they start to work . There are 2 positions for the roller .  Sooner , or later that they come into pay . I chose the less aggressive setting . It seemed right for my truck . They are made by Sax Suspension Technology . Hope this helps .

4 wheel drive Mike! Based on a synchro transporter, The last axle has no drive.

 

after using a regular transporter tipper I reckon having an extra axle is really needed to hold the weight

Looking at the pictures there, the closeness of the mudguard to tyres suggest this one doesn't hold weight too well either

Might be alright then!
