Rear spring upgrade
#1
Hi all,

I have a 2018 75hp 625 enterprise, I carry a bit of weight in the back but nothing excessive however the rear of my van looks fairly low compared to the front, is there any stiffer rear springs or upgraded ones that could raise it up a little?
Don’t really want coilovers 

The van is on 140k so could be a little tired any suggestions would be grateful

There's not much in the way of options but this thread might help

I was going to suggest the Mutispace xtr ones, it has a higher ride height than other models.

Might have to do some trawling of catalogues to get rates\lengths, you might find the van types are higher rate but shorter length.

As you say, could even be that new standard ones are all that's needed, but can't say either way from here.

So I’ve been having a look on eBay ext and found some heavy duty springs that are 410mm however the listing says they won’t fit my van.
I’m pretty sure they would be the same as my originals just longer, but can anyone confirm that they will fit?

They are obviously intended for towing but I have seen them used front and rear as a cheap and simple way of stiffening up a car's suspension.

Yeah I’ve ready that, I carry tools in the back that I don’t really want to take out along with a tool vault and even tho I didn’t think it’s too much weight it’s basically on the bump stops and looks like it’s draggin, so just want the back abit higher.

I've got about 400 kilos of tools and equipment in my little service van (B9 L1 675kg), so she was a bit saggy at the back (and felt awful to drive, not exactly confidence inspiring), so I installed some "heavy duty" springs from ebay (bnib, "Kilen" branded"), and those brought the ride-height back up to what it should be, and eliminated it's previously wayward nature!

They were pretty easy to fit, but you'll need a decent set of spring compressors, and they need to be fairly compact. I used the type that has 2 stout hook things on a piece of counter-threaded bar. The bump-stops were a bugger to get off the spring, and were a bit knackered anyway, so do yourself a favour and just get new ones before you start! and use plenty of lube to fit them!

I did try the rubber-spring helpers as a short-term measure, but they didn't really do much. don't bother unless you're desperate (and don't expect miracles if you do!)

Thanks to the above posters, you helped me solve my problem!
