suspension suggestions

[Kevint888]

Getting near end of project and looking for suspension suggestions.
I'm located in Colorado, US. Obvious answer would be Alcan, will not be going that route.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Camper looks nice on SWB shorty. But just curious about camper door location on driver side in US.

But just curious about camper door location on driver side in US.

They don't have the same stupid rules in the US that we have in Australia.

I wanted to have a way to get in without having a ladder or steps.
Did not want to relocate fuel tank.
I can't see any difference between a door on this side and getting out of the drivers seat.

As I eluded to... we have stupid rules here, one being that the entry door for a camper must be on the passenger's side or at the rear.

I've broken down on the highway and had to get in/out of the camper to get tools so I don't think it's a stupid rule.

Still... choices. I liked having the doors near each other to make it easier to go from cab to camper.

Great looking rig, Kevint888!

Do you have children? Woud you want them exiting/entering on the street?

 

[rruff]

Nope.

Simple solution... don't camp on a street.

What is the question?

Is the existing suspension worn out/damaged? Your clearance and angles look good for most situations. If the suspension needs renewal I'd probably go for OEM.

Do you want more load-carrying capability (in which case will you have to re-license for a greater GVM)? In that case then I'd look to find out whether OME or Dobinson's (for example) offer a suspension upgrade.

As I eluded to... we have stupid rules here, one being that the entry door for a camper must be on the passenger's side or at the rear.

WIthout getting into whether it's a good idea, do you know (SkiFreak) how this works with visiting vehicles. My recollection is that as long as the vehicle is legal where it's registered it's OK in Australia, if visiting, however... I can imagine that something as evident as a door on the "wrong" side might attract police attention.

I believe that your assumptions, for the most part, are correct.
Some countries may impose restrictions on visiting vehicles, but normally if the vehicle is suitably registered in the owners home country it is accepted as being legal, if being used privately for travel purposes.
