Pedders Heavy Duty Load Carrying and Towing Suspension kit. Constant Load. Volkswagen T5 & T6

This suspension kit is designed for Volkswagen T5 and T6 vans regularly carrying heavy loads or towing. It improves load carrying capacity by upgrading the rear springs and matching shocks, optimising rear ride height and vehicle stability under heavy load conditions.

Key Features

• Heavy duty kit designed for constant load use
• Improves load carrying and towing ability
• Premium grade rear springs included
• Matched shocks to complement upgraded springs
• Raises rear by approximately 35-50mm when laden
• Recommended minimum load of circa 250kg for ideal operation
• 2 year / 40,000km warranty

Product Overview

This kit suits T5 and T6 vans frequently running well loaded, offering improved rear suspension stiffness and height to counter sagging under load. The kit raises the rear by 35 to 50mm compared to the vehicle's current sitting height when laden, restoring proper stance and handling. It is not recommended for unladen operation due to a harsher ride quality.

It is primarily aimed at commercial users with consistent load requirements. Campers, especially short wheel base versions, are generally not suitable due to their lighter load profiles and may benefit more from upgraded shock absorber options intended for better control under varying loads.

Technology & Materials

This kit features premium grade rear springs matched with complementary shocks engineered for heavy load carrying. This ensures the suspension components work in harmony to maintain ride quality and vehicle control during towing and heavy use.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is designed for bolt-in installation with original mounting points. It is essential to tighten the rear shock mounting bolts with the vehicle at its normal operating height, not with wheels off the ground, to prevent shock bush failure. Professional wheel alignment after installation is recommended to ensure safety and handling stability.

This kit is optimised for heavy-duty load carrying and towing, not for variable load scenarios or light-duty applications.
