Can you upgrade the carrying capacity of a van using suspension and brake parts?

Hi, so, like it says in the title, is it possible to upgrade a van's carrying capacity using uprated suspension/brakes?

Thanks!

Yes, to a point but it depends on what your current gross weight is and what you want it to be!! It doesn't necessarily involve changing any parts either.
Search the forum for "up plating". Lots of people have done it.

There are a few mentions on the forum if you search for "up plating". However, I'll save you the hassle and suggest you look at:

Ven Weight Engineering

and

SV Tech

who both offer the service.

I’d check with your insurance company prior to any changes.

VWE currently not able to offer the service, so SVTech is the only option.

Still waiting for them to reply to me, I need to find some time to call them .
