Nope...just a wedge see colese for one of his large ones does depend on what tyres you run mind...

I'm running 17" 8.5j front and 10j rear with ET39 all round (tyres are 245/45 and 225/45). Had to trim the inside of the arches at the rear and have spaced the sliding rail a little as I've the Velle panel on the slider which makes it rub if I don't have it spaced. If you've a ply panel you may be ok.

Just to add there is a difference between the early and late T4 chassis, mine is the early one!

Not happy with my suspension set-up, so interested to see how nicely yours sits Paulm T:

Spring assistors
Is that the rubber things you jam between coils
If so do they work well T:

yup, you got it..

they work really well chief..took em off to go the Harewood show and i did rub a couple of times but the bus didnt arf feel wallowly...with the assistors in it stiffens up the whole back end, totally illiminates any bottoming out/rubbing issues, even fully laden and it allows me to run wide problamatic free

for the money, they really are a no brainer...and safe too ..as they are only doing what they are supposed to be doing, albeit in a slightly different way, ie i aint towing nothing crazy fool

Pleasure T:

you need to roughly measure the gap between the coils on an unladen spring and then buy accordingly...

Them wheels do look awesome, i have 18s on mine and they are always rubbing on rear and its only dropped 55-60mm.
I have brought green extra load springs from ebay but each coil is just sitting on top of each other.
It doesnt look right but has stopped rubbing, although i have seem a lil paint on tyre today.
Can i get wheels machined on hub so it makes them sit in side the arches better.
