Lowering the rear?

I thought adjustable springplates helped level a van with a lean/and assist in removing wheels on a lowered bus?

That's why i want a set, bored of having to remove the shocks every time i want to change a wheel, also Young_Dubya has another great point, my van empty sits fine once it's heavily loaded i actually need to bring the rear down a bit as the front drops substantially. (most of my weight ends up nearer the front of the van than the rear unlike it will be in your pickup)

You have to have pretty big Tyres and have a pretty low van before removing a wheel becomes an issue

The only problem is, when you put the right length shocks on a very low bus even with the adjustables you will need to remove one shock bolt....Doh :| :roll: :mrgreen:

Cool. I haven't seen those over here in the states. Are those welded or the new kind with the funky balljoints?
