I have had a reply from Goldschmitt-techmobil AG, which appears to be more reasonable.
We thank you for your enquiry and interest in our products
and offer to you for our general supply and trading conditions not-binding (validity 4 weeks):
To lift the front of your vehicle, we offer you a reinforced coil spring.
To make the vehicle more stable we will fit an additional air-spring at the back. With it you can also lift the back.
If you want to stabilize your vehicle still more, we offer you for the front an anti-roll-bar optionally.
€2632 including 19% vat. That covers the supply, fitting, for front and rear, but not any additional spacers etc.
If I just have the front coil springs and the uprated anti roll bar fitted, that comes to about €1090 + vat + TUV certificate.
I'm still pondering, however the big Dutch guy mentioned at the beginning was very happy with his front suspension upgrade.
Has anyone else had the front suspension done on their MH?
Cheers,
Jock.

Alko, who would be delighted to sell me the bits if the idea was a goer, tell me it is impossible to retro-fit air suspension to their TAG axle, though they are happy to so this in-build. They (and Airide)cheerfully sell us the bits to put air bags on leaf spring PFC chassis.
I spoke to AL-KO UK re AIR suspension and this is their reply, which I intepret as saying that although they can not do it there are others that can, there is no indication that they don't recommend it (if that makes sense)

Dear Mr Lockie,
Unfortunately, once your motor home has been built, it is not possible
to retro-fit our air suspension units. We are aware that other
manufactures of air suspension systems, may possibly offer an
alternative to our product.
A year ago when our Tag was new I went down this road, but decided it was too much money. Instead I when over to Holland and had a Hydraulic levelling system fitted, delighted with it, the chap also offered to fit upgraded front springs. As for the air suspension kit I don't think its worth the money you can by a lot of gas oil for that money! I find the ride on our van very stable and smooth as it is.

TBH, for the year of MH, (1999), it all comes across as a bit expensive. I am awaiting a reply from Goldschmitt re the front upgrade with the optional anti roll bar.
Cheers,
Jock.
