Have fitted eibach lowering springs and I believe these are same for T26-30, need to pick up pallet of bricks @ 860kg am I right in thinking the rear wont sag as much now. I know van is registered as gross weight of 2800kg. What tyre pressure as currently running 44psi at rear was thinking + 10 psi for this one off trip.
 
I'm not sure on the eibach setup you have.

But we done this on a T32 with sportline springs and wheels.

We had a pallet of slate pattio tiles to collect.

The van did sag at the rear to almost the bottom of the suspension travel. We had 50psi all round on the tyres.

The van did take it..... it creaked and moaned abit....but the power and breaking were fine.

Not sure of the total front and rear axle weights.

We've been pulled over numerous times in the past due to the van looking over weight by the Fed's......they march you to a VOSA weigh bridge and weigh the van on the front and rear axle seperaltly then run those numbers against the chassis plate on your van
.......if you over you need to empty out some stuff till your a legal weight before they let you go.
