Howdy, I have a 91 multivan, runining SA 15" steel rims with 215/75 BFG KO's. With stock suspension I had bad interference in the wheel well, especially when turning under full compression. I bought and had installed a set of spring spacers from Germany, designed for syncros; I still have minor interference when heavily loaded. I don't know the ride height off hand, but its comparable with a stock syncro. Works great for me when touring around Death Valley, Nevada, Baja, etc, but the van is too tall to fit in the garage now.
