I have a 2009 2500 sprinter high roof van, I know my load gvwr is about 8600 lb. I load mine to 8900 lb almost all the time. It runs well 60k miles so far. I'm afraid when I come out of a driveway , I worry about the bouncing of the load on the spring. Has anyone ever added an additional spring or something else. Would appreciate some imput. thanks Jimbo

I run 9200lbs on a 2500. It was awful. I was porpoising over every wave in the road, running on the load/spring limiters on each turn, and had everyone flash their high beams at me... not to mention white-knuckling sway and steering from the rear on the highway as rigs passed me.

I added a Rear Spring Assist Kit plus their Heavy Duty Shocks & Heavy Duty Sway Bar from the Upscale/Sprinter Store.
