Hi Guys,
I got a new ST dual cab w/steel tray about a month ago, and have since realised how flat the leaves in the rear, under the tray are. They are actually inverted slighty, with only 40-50mm (at best) to the rubber stops.
Is this normal with steel trays?
My (inexperienced) thoughts were that the stock leaves were suited to the lighter weight of the tub, and once the weight of the steel tray goes on there, the leaves are pushed to the max.
We recently hired a camper trailer, and with it fully loaded, and only a 100kgs or so in the tray, it was sagging alot.
Has anyone else had this experience? Whats the best way to increase the load carrying capacity in the tray and stop the sagging? Extra leaves? Suspension lift?
Any thoughts appreciated....
