This company fits air suspension and then up rates the vehicle with the DVLA:

https://www.ccrv.co.uk/product-page/up-rate-your-t...

"Increase your truck's towing capacity with CCRV's uprating service. For example, we can upgrade the new model Ford Ranger 3.2L Turbo Diesel from 6,000Kg to 7,000Kg train weight."

If I fit this suspension myself, what is the process with the DVLA? They mention completing paperwork with DVLA, but I can't find anything about this? If I do this myself, do I have to have the vehicle inspected and signed off by someone?

TBH I don't see the point; you're not changing the class of vehicle so the only party that needs to know is the insurer.
