Rear Springs

[Tallyman]

About 5 years ago I fitted Milners 20% stronger springs to my Surf to cure the usual rear end sag and to help towing the caravan. Yesterday, when very slowly starting to back off a grass car park there was a loud metalic bang. Thought we'd hit something but couldn't see anything behind, so carried on. About 3 miles on, went round a tight roundabout and heard something fall off. Parked up as soon as possible to check underneath but couldn't see anything obvious.

Got home and gave it a good check over and found the o/s/r spring had snapped at the bottom coil, loosing about 4-5 inches of the coil. It didn't effect the ride home, but as I'm going to be towing the van away shortly I need to replace it. Having suffered a failure I'm not going to trust the Milners springs again but am going with Roughtrax +2. Having checked with them today I'm told (not Barry) that the +2 springs will work OK with standard OE shocks. Has anyone run these with standard length shocks and found any problems?

Thanks

Hi Tallyman,

I've had R.T. +2" + 20% springs on for while now
and not had any problems at all, and OK when towing.
Hope this helps

Gman.

Thanks Gman. I take it you are using them with the original standard length shocs?
