Hey lads ,ive bought an AU XLS ute , threw a medioca load in the back and the springs look flat not curved
Is there some difference is the carry load in XLS and maybe the 1 tonner version ??? If there is , can i put the 1 tonner rear springs in my ute ??? Maybe its the shocks ?? or are the springs shagged and need replacing ??? It still drive fine , no issue , but the tyres are up near the tray tie rail Maybe im used to throwing the load in a 4by ute that doesnt have the spring movement as much ??? Ideas, suggestions ??? |

XLS springs at the same as XR, they don't take alot of weight.
You can add another leaf to increase carrying capacity, or go with 1 ton Springs as said |

Pretty much what both of the above said, 1 tonne springs will fit.
XR/XLS springs are good for ~650kg or so.
