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.

Joel
