Hi All,
Still trying to sort out my ball weight issues and choose new leaf springs for the Navara. On my recent trip to Sydney, the springs were so badly inverted that could only just get my fingers between the Navara leaf spring and the bump stop!
Each suspension specialist has a different recommendation but all agree that the ute will ride fairly harsh when empty given the heavy duty springs required. Recommendations between 150kg and 350kg have been given.
Whilst I wold prefer to fix the tow vehicle suspension first, rather than try to manipulate weight especially given Nissan saying not to use a WDH, I suspect that I might not have any option and a WDH might enable m to choose a marginally lighter weight leaf pack.
Is the factory standard location of the jockey wheel / clamp lightly to cause any problems fitting or using a WDH? In hindsight, should hav asked for it to be fitted on the inside of the chassis.
Can you reverse with the WDH fitted?
Does it cause problems entering or leaving ferries?
Has anyone recommendations for brands other than Hayman Reese? Classic v Standard? 28" v 30"?
Sorry for all these questions but never needed a WDH on previous caravans so complely new to me and want to be educated before speaking to sales people.
Cheers, Paul
