Hi all,

Im looking to get some clarity on suspension types and the corresponding max weight for these vans.
I've got a 2009 3.0 liter, L2H2 van with a max weight of only 3000kg. On the typeplate it says front axle is rated at 1630kg, rear at 1650. Now, I have been looking at upgrading the suspension, and if needed the tyres and/or rims to possibly get up to 3500kg.

I suspected to have the single leaf spring in the rear as I have a 'light' van. But after inspection I sem to have the more heavy duty double leaf spring. On youtube there a plenty videos op people 'upgrading' theri single leaf suspention to a double one. The van also sits pretty high with plenty of room te spare under the bump stops and above the wheels.
On the front I cant make out what kind of suspention is installed. Is there a way to identify what suspention is curently on the van (front and rear) and for what axle loads it is rated?

Thanks!
