Have a quigley 1997 v10 sportsmobile 4x4 with the Agile RIP kit and apparently their helper springs. Bought the van used about 6 months ago and recently emailed Agile to confirm about helper springs but they offered no advice besides confirming.
My issue is that the rear has a bit of sag when unloaded and the springs have flat to negative bow to them. The axle still retains the stock lift block from quigley. My driveabilty issue is that at high speed the rear end feels like it has a sway to it and under certain conditions makes the van feel like a boat.
I know there are custom options from deaver but i would like to pursue an off the shelf option and replace the blocks. I have seen a few threads on people who have used 80's f250 leafs but would like to hear from memebrs on here about what setup they have.
From the door sill the van(sportsmobile west) is about 9500lb with 3500 on the front and 6000 on the rear. The van retains most the original layout but i still find it hard to believe there is 6k on that rear axle.
