I didn't know that, very interesting. I will measure ..... but it still doesn't look right to me even if it's technically level.
Suspension sagging at the rear. What can I do?

It would be nice to have!
It isnt right. The sill between the wheels should slope down towards the front. If I were you I would give Steve @CRS Performance a call sometime.
Thanks, will do. Yeah I'm not happy with the way it looks at all.
Give Steve @CRS Performance a bell. Most importantly, tell him what you’re doing with your van and loads you are carrying. He will also want to know the measurements from wheel centre to arch for each wheel and the diameter of your ARBs. Steve can ship you what you need if you need someone to do the job locally.
It’s an easy fix. And definitely won’t mess with the warranty. Send me an E mail and I’ll forward some dimensions. I need to size the spacer for you , steve@crsperformance.co.uk
It’s a long time since I lived in Dublin, so I can’t recommend someone to do the job, I’m afraid!
That will leave the floor of the interior sloping down towards the front, since the floor is parallel to the rocker panels. Depends on what you prefer.
Every van that leaves the factory has the sill sloping to the front 40 mm on a T32 its 50 mm , I have never measures the interior floor for level but if the measurements we are talking about arent right the van is dangerous to drive ??
I think we need to remember that in the OP photos, the van has 650KG in the back.
To me it looks like a van with 650KG in the back, there's nothing "wrong" with the van, the OP wants it to sit level with that weight on board and @CRS Performance has said it's an easy fix, i.e. he can sort it.
Job done.

There's currently a discussion about this at the VWCC Forum. People have gotten out there with tape measures and spirit levels. Interesting. In very general terms, commercial vans are raised at the rear, Californias are level, going by the floor and the body line on the side. For California owners the main issue seems to be pans not slipping off the hob!

Does your T6.1 back end sag
Following from discussions on another thread, I am trying to understand whether from the factory, when empty should the crease line on on the bodyside ( the crease runs parallel to the floor & the bottom of the sills) be level, higher at the front or higher at the back. Note the tops of the...

I'm not the only one then! I have some suspension spacers in the post thanks to CRS performance, and it should sort everything out nicely. I'll post here a picture once it's all done!
Suspension spacers worked a treat. Decided to splurge on some wheels / tyres while I was at it.
First pic unloaded, 2nd pic fully loaded vs the way it used to be. I'm delighted, thanks Steve @CRS Performance.

Agreed, give CRS a call as they can give you options that you currently may not have.
Dajiban!!!!
Haha what a cool van! Not quite what I was going for but I see the similarities!
I've driven a dayvan with bed version of one of these by Majestic conversions from just above Detroit, Michigan down to Disneyland in Florida back about 20yrs ago, went into quite a speed wobble at 80mph, proper weapon for eating up the miles though!
Very popular look in Japan according to Noriyaros videos on YouTube.
