Looking for spring ideas for toy dolphin

Hey everyone I am looking for any advice on jacking up my elk mobile home. I bought a 1980 toyota dolphin and would like to raise the rear end a bit for ground clearance and also I would like to tow my ATV with the motorhome. I due it now but dam slow and watch every dip and corner. I would like an easy spring swap and I would also like to keep the same load capacity. any thoughts or ideas? Elk Season is right around the corner taking my bow test thing weekend. WHOO HOO!!!! also if I could pull the springs off a used toy in a wrecking yard even greater plus say a tundra or something just dont know if springs will line up???

Do a search for "Zuk Mod", you will find lots of ideas. The best thing with that route, you can pick and choose the height and spring capacity for your specific application.

Might try the OME springs (http://www.arbusa.com/) and their heavy duty ones would probably be a good setup. Designed for around 2" of lift.

Otherwise, Alcan can set you up, give them the rear axle weight (find a truck scale) and the length and lift spring you want.
