    Has anyone actually switched their springs left for right, and did the van level out ?
    
    I know this thread has been through a couple of times, but I probably wasn't paying attention at the time :-
    
    Thanks,

        This has more to do with the spring fatigue caused by the extra weight on the port side of the van.  Over time (at least 9 years by now) the weight of the camper equipment (not to mention all the stuff stuffed in there most of the time) simply compresses the springs to a point where they fatigue and cannot return to the original height/length.
