You,can also use an old CV body(be sure to take out the ball bearings or
it won't fit) to lift the rear of the Vanagon about 1 1/2".You
disconnect the shock and lift the vehicle to where the upper spring seat
seperates from the spring,Put your CV body there,lower the vehicle back
down bolt  your shock back up and you're done.I've been using this for 4
years with no problems.
