My ice cream van sits on a tilt since I got it back

The bloke I bought it back off said he had a grage lift it up and do some work on it and since then one side is higher up then the other

Any one got any idears on this or how to correct it?

Cheers for any help Wardy

So I want to let the tyres down on the side that is down the most :?:

I was thinking about some different leafs would that do it?

Don't know exactly what you mean, but it wasn't that unusual for the body to chassis mountings to need looking at :!:

Or as said, could be a broken/fatigued spring :!:
