I own a 2014 Journey 17.55.8 and am thinking of having the axles under slung to get a little extra height for reversing up my driveway and negotiating dish drains, speed humps etc. I have read numerous posts where members have done this to their vans.
I recently read an article where it was stated that the caravan being reviewed had “semi-elliptical leaf springs whose shape not only act as a durable spring that supports the van, it also works to keep the axle in the proper position…..and deliver the smoothest, quietest ride possible”.
I appreciate that the above words are part of the sales pitch for the van but does under slinging the axles compromise the suspension setup in anyway? Is there a trade-off between the slight height gain and the ride or any other factors?
