I don't see that it would hurt other than increasing your weight,therefore your fuel consumption.What particular benefit do you expect from it though?

Rear leaf suspention

If you put more leafs you will loose your suspention .there is an assistor that can be purchased.I think Colin could advise you on that.Cheers+Beers,Jim.

rear suspension

I thought that I may have the wrong susp. on my motor and that fitted a stronger pair may save me from putting spring assiosters on, also it would be cheaper. I am having a gas conversion put on in june with the tank being where the spare wheel used to sit causing more weight at the back. so stronger suspension would help, so I thought

Rear suspention

If the total weight is found the leaf spring maker could work out the proper amount of leaves tou need.Their are other people on the net that are more experience than I with suspention.Cheers+Beers,Jim

fitting heavy duty springs wont harm your set up and its recommended to change the rear shocks at the same time.

some beddys where fitted with 7 leaves rear springs .

rear sosp

thanks mate but I have just ordered 4 bolts from a firm called UKA aftermarket. he's making them for me at £17.50 each. thanks again, maybe you can help with my other query. I wanted a pair of rear shocks and every advert said it would fit upto 35cwt cf. but when I mentioned that my cf Is 3.5ton they told me that the heaviest cf was a 35cwt. is that right?
