Thanks Matt just a bit worried as to how it will tow now being that much higher. Still got a few things to sort but its nearly there. I got some new flywires today 2 of them, and nearly fell over when he told me the price was around 100 bucks

Can you fit anti-roll / anti-sway bars to the van ?
What do they have on the 4WD vans to make them tow better as they are pretty high ?

I've got a 4 bar level rider set which is good at keeping it straight normally. I dont think they do anything special on the offroaders but I'm not sure. I also have a Hayman Reece set up but I'm missing the brackets that go on the a frame .I guess I'll just wait and see how it goes My fingers crossed

Haymen Reece distribution hitches ... you can raise and lower the towball ... damn handy too!



Scol.

Yeah Scol if I could pick up the brackets I'm missing I would use the Hayan Reece one

oops ...

Don't ya love vanning ... miss one little thing and you can't go anywhere ...

Scol.

Yeah aint that the truth, I have my 4 bar Millard ones which arent too bad

My van came with them but I use the Reece ones now.

I have heard ppl going back to those 4 bar ones (shepherd crooks right?) because the Reece WDH hang too low. So any dirt roads and ppl take the WDH off.

I know I have to take the WDH off prior to parking the van if it is uneven ground whereas the shepherd crook bars I didn't have to worry ... they tuck nicely up alongside the a frame which offers protection. Mind you, the only way to get them back on again was to move the van back to even ground after you hitched up. It really IS rocket sceince soemtimes ... But I still love it ...

The 4 bar ones are good but yeah hard to get on even if the ground is slightly uneven. I tried to get the bits I'm missing but they wont break a set .

Can you get some made at a local engineering shop ?

Yeah I probably could Kev, the trouble is I dont know exactly what they look like as apparantly there are different types
