Pedders Heavy Duty Load Carrying and Towing Suspension Kit with Lower Spring Insulators for Volkswagen T5 & T6

This kit is designed for Volkswagen T5 and T6 vans needing improved load carrying and towing capacity. It features an upgraded rear spring and matched shocks to provide better support for heavily laden vehicles, enhancing durability under load.

Key Features

• Heavy Duty Kit for improved load carrying and towing
• Premium grade rear springs
• Includes replacement lower spring insulators
• Recommended minimum load approximately 250kg
• Raises rear by 35-50mm when well loaded
• 2 year / 40,000km warranty

Product Overview

The suspension kit provides enhanced support for T5 and T6 vans regularly operating under heavy load or towing conditions. It is primarily intended for heavily laden vans, and may produce a harsher ride if used in an unladen state. The kit raises the rear suspension by 35 to 50mm compared to the usual sitting height when loaded, improving stance and load distribution.

Campers, especially short wheelbase models, are generally unsuitable for this kit due to lower typical payloads. Such vehicles can benefit from upgraded shocks (Pedders part 120216) that reduce wallowing and bounce when loaded. Proper shock bolt tightening at normal vehicle height is essential to prevent premature bush wear.

Technology & Materials

The kit uses premium grade rear springs matched with suitably designed shocks to provide constant load support. It includes replacement lower spring insulators to restore components prone to wear under heavy loading.

Installation & Compatibility

The rear shock mounting bolts must be tightened with the vehicle at its normal operating height, not with the wheels off the ground. This prevents premature shock bush failure. The kit is bolt-in and designed for T5 and T6 vans used under heavy load conditions. A professional wheel alignment is recommended post-install.

This suspension kit is suited for heavy-duty, laden vans rather than unladen or camper applications.
