We have a 2004 Ducato that's been converted to a campervan by Adria.
Recently, on particularly bumpy dirt roads in Portugal, we've hit a few larger rocks, and ended up breaking the manufacturer skid plate.
I've since swapped it for an aftermarket steel plate, and am very happy with the results, but would like to avoid hitting things in the first place so am looking at increasing our ground clearance front and back.
I'm not certain whether our existing springs have degraded and that's why we're low to the ground (particularly at the front); or if we're just driving roads far too bumpy (how would one tell?).
Additionally, since we plan to travel to much colder climates this winter, we need winter tyres.
So have been looking at mild all-terrain tyres that also suitable for use in winter.
What options are there for increasing ground clearance?
What's the largest tyres that fit an MK2 ducato, would fitting slightly larger tyres than rated increase ground clearance?
Any particular tyres you'd recommend?
