Autosleeper hightop suspension

Post by Jeff J »

Some time ago I posted a question in this associated thread viewtopic.php?f=41&t=108649&start=15 about the level front/back of my camper. I have now measured from the center of the wheel to the wheel arch & the front is 2 inches higher than the rear (17" F & 15" R). There is also a proportional difference in the dimension fr/bk when measured from the ground to the side sills. I am fairly convinced that the problem lies with the front springs being too long but cannot find any information about spring lengths for different models to enable me to get the correct ones. Can anybody confirm my thoughts or have dimensions for a similar vehicle or give me any pointers on how to rectify the issue. Thanks.

Thanks for that, it is very good news as replacing the rear springs looks to be an easier job than the front. I'll get some new rear springs ordered now.
