What I am trying to get at is that people like you are few and far between as regards to camper and the fact that you use it properly.
If people want strong springs they will go to Seikel.
Whats the point in copying something that someone already does?!
I'm trying to do the right thing for the UK syncro owners, and trying to gauge what to do and how to do it, Seikels are too stiff for most people in the UK as most people here don't have a loaded to the hilt camper that they use off road a lot.
Still chasing this company in Germany to get stock springs, which as noted are going to be okay for a lot of people anyway.

Yep, understood, makes sense. Just providing feedback from 1st hand experience.

Also, mine has just been repainted, so I will no longer be using it properly and only washing and polishing it

Just come off the phone with the rep from the spring company about these stock springs.
Seems they are coming off the same production line as the OE ones.
Company is new to UK so no prices as yet, but catalogue winging it's way here.

But thats what I said Si........

I have a set of front springs I bought from Buschmiede - 2" lift and stiffer than standard. Bit stiff for my unladen van but might suit a camper

My 16" sits real low, and must nearly be up to max weight. I do like the way the suspension is supple though and would not want a very much stiffer spring, as Si TMT says about 15% would be my ideal. I would prefer stock height though, but would be pleased with any improvement.

My camper does off road a fair bit, and just draggs her ass around a bit, but all wheels stay on the ground.

Well done Baxter for looking into this.

Can you buy CJ's stuff please.

My new place is 4 times as big as the old place, I A) can't afford it, B) no where to put it! I'm all out of room and already looking into a mezzanine!

Found a nice american lifted syncro called syncrozilla. Been spoken about on here before.







Using Burleymotorsport suspension.

Good lad!!

Those coilovers would be the way to do it, you get the articulation then as you have the length to play with (ahem)
That space is wasted under the front seats usually, but for people in this country, they want something they can just bolt on, to do that you need to be doing it yourself to keep it affordable, not really an off the shelf product, plus no one here would pay for it.
