Get some very big springs


The trouble with stiffer springs on a transporter is that during loading the back end stays high whereas softer springs allow the back to go down as the weight passes over the very back of the bed reducing the angle for lowered cars or those with body kits etc.

If you look at a loaded Transit with heavy springs in it stands out a mile, 1.5 tons of car on and the arse is up in the air with a 3 inch gap between the tyre and mudguard, I think VOSA may also know the tell tale signs :lol:


It's that gap the police go on. I was in a luton so I suppose if they can't see the load, they would leave you alone. It would be different with a car transporter I know, but I also know people with 5 leaves and more on a bevertail.
