weigh your car fully loaded, then weigh it empty.
tell the shop what your car weighs both, what wheelin you do, they should be able to match to that

Good chance the shocks will still work. Just need new coils.

yep, probably coils are too heavy
just picked mine up, had king springs and konis fitted 18 months ago (after someone fitted way to heavy coils) but now I have 150L fuel tank & rear wheel carrier, much lower in the rear with a full load
Instead of fitting heavier rear coils, I had polyairs added because when its not loaded of full fuel, I want decent "drop"
Also, the konis are the best...

I can sell you 3" lift softer coils especially built for the SWB Patrol but we should be able to make them work for the Mav. They are $150 a pair and freight is free.
