leaf springs mk6 mk7

Postby jasonblacktransit » Wed Aug 20, 2025 7:54 pm

hello people. done a mk7 axle on my mk6 t350 lwb high top some time ago. all good but now need to change my leaf springs as one is a bit tired and having a lean . i do want to lower the back if possible to make loading my drag bike a bit easier. i can only see that people provide mk7 lowering springs at a 4 inch drop that i want. will i be able to fit the mk7 springs . are the lengths and mounting bolts compatible. if not does anyone provide mk6 lowering leaf springs for the t350...please help if you can

When I was looking for mk6 rear springs I measured the works mk 7 and the springs were wider
