Hey all, Just wanted to follow up on this. I ended up ordering a set from Germany via Mark Schoening at SyncroSource - also had an offer to help from Scott Voss at TurboVans, but the timing didn't quite work out. Thanks to both of them for the help. I ended up ordering the taller lift, installed the rear spacers myself, and had my local shop do the fronts (much cursing from them, as I already had taller Syncro.org springs). If the California weather had been more cooperative I'd have done the fronts myself - just got tired of wrenching in the rain. These are installed on a 2wd 1991 Multivan to compensate for some oversize tires rubbing on the front fenders. In all, this wasn't a cheap experiment but it does solve the fender rub issue. Thanks again to all those who offered advise and help.
