hi, do you know if I can fit t28 springs to the rear of my t26 camper van. I'm on the boundary of its capacity and thought this would help if then fit?

The positioning of the lower end of the spring - which the video showed as needing a long bar to make happen - the spring did not look well positioned. Also, the hydraulic pole used to simulate lowering to the ground I assume - because I didn't see any torque tightening of the shocker.
HI, I'm going to have a pop at this soon. Could you elaborate on what you mean so I don't cock the job up!! Does the cup have to be seated in a certain position? Cheers :)
@@timpricedrums yes when you take out the rear spring the bottom of the spring sits on a rubber cup. When it's out your see its obvious as it has an indent in the suspension arm that lines up with the cup perfectly, use a preminant marker to mark reference lines so as when the van is back down you can see if you have accidentally miss aligned something. Also what wasn't indicated on the video is that you need to torque up all the bolts while the van is on the ground not in the air so do them up loose in the air then drop to the ground and torque up as per manufacturer's instructions. Use these videos as a rough guide only

This video is only for the front wheel drive version. If you have a 4-motion, you'll need to remove all bolts for the axle, on the diff.
How it go did you dieded?

So your mechanic didn't bother lining up the bottom cup. Hmmm🤔
