I have a 75 Troopy that has been converted to pop top camper.
Lets just say that when it was all finished and loaded, its arse dragged on the ground so to speak.
I fixed it by replacing the factory springs with a Kings - Mining Pack set ,(their Heaviest Duty ones), replaced the factory fitted shocks with Konis all round and added poly airs as the final fixer.
The polyairs are only on the rear and they make it look 'sweet to the eye' height wise as
well as stabilised it beyond expectations.
Prior to the polyairs, I regularly received questions as to 'how much weight are you carrying. Not now.
It only takes 30-40 lbs in the polyairs to make things right when fully loaded and thats bugger all considering you are supposed keep them no lower than 20lbs at all times.
If you want it higher, just add a tad more air. However make sure all your 'bits' hanging underneath can take the extra height.
Now for the front.
Well I had the Factory fitted springs resprung and an extra leaf added.
That and the Konis fully adjusted failed stop the constant 'pitching' of the nose.
Yeah! I thought it was the weight in the back as
well until I replaced the front springs with a Kings Mining pack set.
Nows its just perfect.
Anyway thats another experience for you to ponder on
Regards
Ken
