I had real problems with the weight when I was there - I was carrying a couple of extra jerries to help a mate out for the Fezzan stretch so had six in the back of my 90, full tank of fuel, plus water, rooftent, spares etc - I've got standard LR military heavy duty springs on the back and they just couldn't cope - I was bouncing off the bump stops so often I was worried it was going to damage the axle, which spoilt some of the journey for me
I think you're going in a rangie - the load leveler might help with this, but I know the springs are pretty soft - worth loading it up with all the weight you're going to carry to see how it handles.
Next time I think I'll try those inflatable spring assisters just to hoik it all up a bit
