westy waste tank with lowered springs
Hi fitted some lowered springs on so my westy looks great.Has anyone had any problems with the waste tank when fitting lowered springs as it looks pretty close to the deck not sure if i should just take it off.

Bought them used but looks like a good 50-60mm anyway, bottom bolt through the front shock was a total pig had to cut one side out so unless you have changed the front shocks i would get a couple of bolts just incase. but the van looks 100% better.

I haven't had any issues. It's been lowered for some years.
