Maxi Ife leaf springs

Post by Paulieb2012 »

Just fitted the darkside flip kit on my maxi life. I've only dropped it onto the second bottom bolt hole. If I have 2-3 people in the back she seems to bottom out to easy.

My question is are the maxi kombi springs stronger then the life ones or am I doing something wrong????

Have a lot on under the van, look for the rear bump stops. They look like 3 donut stack. If there is 3 you need to trim it depends on how low you go, you might have to take if 1 or 2 donuts.

I find my maxi life will bottom out easily with a load in even with cut down bump stops, the leafs are too soft I reckon

That's my thoughts, seems very soft on the rear with a load in.
