Hi,
I've got new shocks on the back of my L400, but it bounces a bit when I hit a depression in the road  Shocked
Not a problem as it is very comfy to be in Smile
The question is, I`m going to collect a twin axle caravan and was wondering if it'll be okay to tow ( will the caravan be bouncing up and down or will things improve with the extra weight ) :?

Thanks Box1
