pepe63xnotuse Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 ips - 2015-03-27 4:51 PM Just fitted Grayston assisters the rubber things. Raised tow ball by inch and half and that's with all my tools in the back which are very heavy. Should be much better will report back after next trip. Result..and if it looks "right" then that's half the battle (..and by the sounds of it, just a bit of rearranging may sort the rest...). ;-) Judging by the state of some of the outfits we see scrapin' their backsides down the M5 , there's a helluva lot of folk more likely to get pulled than you.. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Cheers for all your advice and input pepe. Visible difference in height of ball and wheel arch. I am pretty sure it will be a vast improvement and only forty quid and fifteen mins to fit. Ps Ordered from wilco via amazon excellent service del next day.

ips Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Update Just had first trip and can confirm significant improvement with spring assistors fitted. Ride height near enough level now tow ball hardly moves when hitch lowered. So that and changing to two 3.9kg gas bottles and lightning nose weight in other ways has worked. Can definately recommend the spring assisters to anyone with similar problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listerdiesel Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 lennyhb - 2015-03-23 7:59 PMNO you must not a riser plate to a towbar it's illegal & dangerous and if your car it post 1999 you can't fit a drop plate either. Drop plates ARE legal as long as the towbar is Type Approved for use with one. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
