CF1 versus CF2 rear spring swap out

[Bas / NZ]

My standard CF is my storage as well, I have under the bed chooka with parts (which I also need to part with), even took half of them down to van nationals last year towing the custom van, it handled well. Only cause I ran out of time to take them out lol

David bring it around to my place, I will empty it for you,,,,,,,,,,,,,

my friends van was really bouncy with a single leaf. i wonder if the shockers were stuffed thou..

You're right. Unless you are carrying heavy loads around all the time the single leaf is bloody awful. I used to be able to launch the back end of mine into the air over the Haywards Hills here in Wellington if I was doing roughly 100km which is a little disconcerting when you're not expecting it.

A full tank of fuel will soften the ride, but it's the shocks that absorb the bumps

On my Duel Wheel van, nothing obsorbs the bumps, not even new shocks........

[BusyKiwi]

Thats cause its made to take a load, same as a ute, put a little bit of weight in them and they ride smooth, no weight they jump around

[Bas / NZ]

So you are saying, when I get my single wheel diff under there with 15" rims shoed with 295 x60's I will have a normal van....... Yes

My  Camper also runs coil springs from the diff to the floor, don't no if this is factory or not 

[BusyKiwi]

They used the coils springs in the jap vans too, if they cause problems you can replace them with skinny air bags (like the jap vans do too), they just there for extra weighted loads.

If you guys are having beds in the back and are a bit, well shall we say "wild" in that department then you may need dual shocks lol

Ok guess that is what it is for, think it would help with the ride aswell.

Hey Bas, is that the "ride" Busy is talking about
