ImTom Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Does anyone know if any companies make rear air shocks or air-bags for a 2016 TC Platinum w/ LWB ?? I need to add a hitch mounted power lift (100lbs) to carry my mobility Scooter (300lbs). I don’t want my low beams searching for squirrels in the trees at night, nor do I want the extra tail end weight to ruin my standard rear suspension? I’d really appreciate any help you folks could offer me... I really need a solution Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty150 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 On a 2016, you will not be able to buy anything over-the-counter. Custom fabrication will be necessary. Maybe custom coil springs, airbags, and bump stops. https://www.truckspring.com/ http://www.stengelbros.com/ Search Modes All Shopping Images Videos News More SettingsTools About 18,600,000 results (0.41 seconds) Search Results Web results Heavy Duty Coil Springs - Michigan Truck Spring https://www.truckspring.com/suspension-parts/coil-springs.aspx Rating: 4.7 - 17 reviews Buy heavy duty coil springs at TruckSpring.com or call 1-800-358-4751 to speak to a coil springsuspension specialist.

davidparker Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 You might be able to get by with some simple coil spring boosters, since your not adding a lot of weight. They are not the best solution, but they might work for you. I prefer the rubber ring style. The screw in type tends to pop back out. The bolt in type will distort the spring over time and can be tricky to install.

Fifty150 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 That may give him a lifted look, and raise the van by an inch. But it really does not solve the problem of heavy load on his springs. Who is selling you the power lift? Is that company performing the installation? Does this company configure and sell entire vehicles? Most of the companies that build out wheelchair access vans for transport companies have schematics for installation which include workarounds for the exhaust, suspension, et cetera. Maybe ask the company selling you the device what they recommend for suspension. Or contact a couple of the coach builders who do custom conversions, and ask them what they do with Transit Connect conversions.

Fifty150 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Here is a schematic which shows relocation of the spare tire, but shows nothing about the exhaust and suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
