We upgraded Turtle with Timbren SES and Hellwig Helper Springs to restore and upgrade the outdated suspension parts!
After nearly completing Turtle The Van's renovation and then driving nearly 2500 miles we noticed that the suspension was starting to sag. This created not only an uncomfortable ride but also reduced stability and safety. We wanted to correct this issue straight away before we continued down the road and found an amazing shop that could help us! We opted not to use airbags nor do a complete leaf spring pack swap but instead add upgrades to our existing setup!
Who says you can't teach an old van new tricks?
We have noticed great change in performance in wind, bumpy roads and maneuverability all while removing the sag in the rear!
Stay tuned for van build updates! Thanks for being a part of our journey :)
