any ideas from anyone
If different leafs from standard from what van / pick-up should I be looking for?
The front coil springs will also need replacing as they only have about 1.5 - 2 inch travel and then hit the stops

And my 120 dont droop at the back end even when loaded same as you as I am soon in the process of doing a bulkhead like you have done..

Tourneo springs are "100" and are normally "High Centre of Gravity" AND "Soft Ride" too![]()

And yes, I am saying that 100 springs will not be suitable for what you want, especially as your Transit is a 120 anyway![]()
Put a full load in the back of any genuine Transit 80 or 100 and the van will "speedboat"![]()
Put a full load in the back of a 120 and all it does is level out
