Winter is coming and so is another great project to make the Syncro even
better.  The Syncro Single Cab that I imported from Germany will under go
some radical suspension mods as time permits.

Project goals include:
- 32" tall tires (7.50R16)
- 16" ground clearance
- Fully adjustable shocks front and rear
- Bigger CVs for more suspension travel

One of the issues that I want to resolve is keeping the suspension from
topping out via the shocks.  I want to use a limiting strap for this
purpose.  The question that I have is where would you fasten the limiting
strap to at the rear of the vehicle in order that it will not hit the wheel
when it is slack?  Same question would come of the front too...
