What is this GVM upgrade you speak about?
Have a look through his, or swannies or most 200 series build threads

It's ok I have polyairs in the back of the cruiser so I can carry as much weight as I want.

I have this upgrade, if you are towing anything of significant weight and also have a bullbar and winch fitted you need to get your car up to the 3800kg class.

And while the GVM upgrade is a good thing, especially if you want to stay legal, putting in X branded springs and shocks doesn't really make the 4wd any safer in regards to towing, unless of course the heavier springs help with a heavy van.
You can put on identical suspension and NOT have it engineered, and it will perform exactly the same.....but of course not be legal if you're over the GVM.

I've also turned my tow hitch upside down to reduce the tow all weight so I should be legal.

Been several recent accidents involving caravan rollovers north of Brisbane.  Most, maybe all, have been 200 series LCs.  Maybe overloaded tugs are to blame?

Broad sweeping statement, not sure if statistics back up this.
Clayton's towing post on Facebook the van accidents they attend to, the last couple of posts i have seen have been 100 series.

It's easy you take the tow ball off then pull the pin that holds the hitch in then pull the hitch out and turn it upside down. Then put the pin in and put the tow ball back on. My son and I did it all in one afternoon.

I've also painted my to recovery points red as well so now they are rated. The bloke at ARB didn't agree with me but I still think he is wrong.
