Helper bags dont cost that much, 100-200 bucks.

10 batts going to provide enough ah for those two amps??

nope

 

[sub-FATHER 10+ year member]

yeah i looked at it good today and the springs are way beyond flat...

 

[murilo 10+ year member]

they will break over time from being old now when you have 3000lbs in it and the springs are in a negative arch one little pot hole,curb or anything will snap them and with that much weight it is not drivable to me.you need to upgrade brakes to some bigger ones maybe upgrade the master cyl. thats alot of weight to stop when your doing 55mph and have to stop in a hurry

I see, mine it is on this negative arc but it is towed, probably will break anyway.

Not much else you can do really. Getting rid of the fiberglass leaf springs is the FIRST thing you should do.

If that doesn't quite do it, then helper bags or add-a-leafs would be the next step.

each of my batteries weigh 110lbs each, and the box weighs a good 600lbs maybe more? then theres a sheet of 1 in mdf on the bottom of the batts and the top

so:

1100 lbs in batts

600 lbs in box + subs

100 lbs in cable

say another 200lbs of misc crap and amps and speakers and deadner and such

and you (500lbs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif)

That van should be riding on it's frame by now, if not it will be soon
