sound like the easy way would be to fix it rather than replace the tires every 6 months ???

its not broken as such.. my springs are sagged like most 35 year old springs.. so the front end sits down a bit. it looks good.but the camber is out.. because the lack of adjustment on our beloved bedfords..

if i bring the front up it will look silly. im hangen out for craig to work out a way to add camber control to the beddy front end!! then it will be all sweet!!

Hey Ben, how bout fixing your springs and throwing on one of your front spoilers and a set of flares to make up for the height and save yourself a fortune in tyres ;)

Maybe my front is saged also cause I couldn't emagine lowering my front end much more cause it'd hit everything........ :o

Actually, I've had that much weight in the back that the bracket holding my break line to my diff has cut a hole through the floor! ::) I was actually driving on the bump stops and everytime I hit a bump the entire back end would leave the ground. :P It made for an interesting drive!

An entire event's lighting equipment ;) Hehe ;D

I carried over 1Ton of scaff in my SWB to and from a gig in Byron 1 time. Had the rear springs inverted! That van rocked! It had a highway diff, trimatic and low compression 202. It drove like a snail till you got it's speed up then it would (and wanted to) crooz along at 140k for hours no dramas, and it drove like this wether it was empty or full, made no difference! Loved that van!

From memory it was a 2.78 or something close to this. The only thing that every went wrong with it was I striped a timing gear one time while fanging up a hill over taking a semi at about 120. Put on a set of straight cut alloy ones ;D
