Not yet but I would be interested! Thankfully not to many in west Dorstet. I know that by the time I had a decent load on, gear and extra person I would be over. Chipper + trailer must be about 400kg, does nose weight go toward gvw?

 

Nice landy Ian. Although no weigh bridges near you, vosa have mobile ones now. Depending on chipper, nose weight is not usually much.

Them spring's are no way heavy duty enough if it sits down with that little body on

Just had this converted two weeks ago

 

How much did the conversion cost I'm thinking of doing my 110 hard top

They felt pretty heavy duty before the conversion. Very bouncy, much better ride now. I will and find out how heavy duty they actualy are.

 

Yes, having a lock box or double cab is alway going to put all the weight on the back. Its got a bit of overhang on the body but i didnt want to much.

 

Cheers Mark, havnt see you in a wile. Say hi to John if you still see him on the highline shutdowns ect.

Get some decent gas shocks helper springs and the brit part heavy duty springs with 2inch lift for rear. They are rated I think at 480lbs one of the highest you can get. You won't go wrong with them

[treefrog]

These are them but shop about you ll get them cheaper maybe

Yeh nice. Have you got a link to the gas shocks as well? Will check them out try and get some thing at the end of the summer if i can keep the work coming in . . .

I just used Brit part ones also. Normally don't rate Brit part stuff but I understand these are just the rebranded made buy a good manufacturer. Call paddocks I reckon they ll be best on price also good for advise

[Ian88]

Cheers for the help and advice.
