Hi all,
I went to discuss the possible towing combinations on the 300c at my local (Canadian) dealer today.
I am disappointed, though not particularly suprised, by the lack of detailed info from the dealer about available factory and aftermarket towing equipment.
We are all probably aware that the 300c and Magnum share the same platform, and use essentially though not exactly the same rear suspension components.
The Magnum has listed as available " Nivomat " load levelling shocks, and I would like to fit them to the 300c as an aid to towing.
In a previous lifetime (or so it seems) I owned a national brand shock absorber distributorship. I was aware that with Nivomat shocks, vehicle spring rates could be different. What springs will the 300c need to make this work? Will the Magnum Nivomats directly interchange?
Does anyone in forum have, or can find a definitive answer?
Supportive guesses are OK, but the one who provides the answer backed by knowledge, and by part numbers will get my respect and gratitude.
