On my old tipper I had the heaviest duty Brit part springs with helpers at rear raised it by 1 inch or so. Poly bushed and with gas shocks. I tried various set ups but this was the best.

Just been looking at the BritPart springs ( cant believe I just said that), highest rate I can find is 330lb

 

 

Did you add stock 110/130 helpers in? Can you even get aftermarket helpers?

[treefrog]

No it was stock ones fitted fine. Could not recommend this set up enough.

I normally avoid BritPart but hey, they cant f~*k up a spring surely!

 

Whats shocks did you use out of interest? Also does the helper need a fitment of some sort? Im guessing so, id need to source that also
