Thanks mate.I frequently tow a boat with my vt and a friend offered me a set of new vz shocks and springs which we both thought may have been a good idea.Obviously that won't work so I'll revert back to plan A which was to put in new king springs with munroe shocks to match the front which I fitted a couple of days ago.
