CHASSIS
REAR SPRINGS, FIRMER
Firmer rear springs
Details and Technology
Two-leaf springs with a steeper spring rate curve than the standard springs. The firmer rear springs are
approved for Chassis Cab versions only in conjunction with the stabilizing package (SHK).
Benefits and Arguments
• Greater roll resistance
In conjunction with the stabilizing package, the firmer rear springs provide greater roll resistance but
without compromising ride comfort. With a load of 2249 kilograms (4960 pounds) on the rear axle, spring
travel is reduced by 20 millimetres (.8 inches). There is no change in the unladen height of the vehicle.
Remarks
Recommended particularly for vehicles with a high centre of gravity, particularly RV bodies.
