No issues with mine either and I’m a landscape gardener so my van is always full and I’m running on 19s

Re: Scared to lower the workvan
The topic name is exactly my fear.
I'm in the printing business, and I'm hauling 600-700 kilos of product at least once a week, other than that, usually 200-300.
Are there any lowering kits what can withstand the 700 kg load, and lower the car somewhat?

Re: Scared to lower the workvan
Any decent quality kit will be ok, they are designed to cope with van load ratings. Obviously you won't be able to set it as low as some vans up here, if you need to carry all that weight, but some sensible lowering will be ok. Also you may consider to change the leaf springs to higher load rated ones, if you haven't done already.

Re: Scared to lower the workvan
Couldn't, the current van has been traded in to the new one under production! It should literally arrive any day. The current one is rated for 750 kilos, the new ones will be rated for 730.
