What must be changed before driving with a heavy load?

Before driving with a heavy load, it is important to adjust both the pre-tensioning of the springs and the tyre pressure. Increasing spring pre-tension helps the suspension support the extra weight, ensuring better stability and driving safety. Raising the tyre pressure prevents the tyres from becoming overloaded, which reduces wear and improves grip and braking. These adjustments help maintain proper vehicle handling under load. Chain tension is not typically affected by carrying heavy loads, so it does not usually require adjustment for this scenario. Remember to always check your vehicle manual for the recommended settings when carrying more weight.
