I have 930's on my Syncro and put a modified spring perch on the rears that are heim-jointed, which allow the trailing arm to travel, without bending the spring longitudinally, it stays straight while the suspension travels up/down.
Because of an additional ride height of almost 2", I put a Pro Comp shock that is a 14", stock height is 12". We put the van on a lift and let the wheels go to full droop and could see that the splines on the axle/CV interface were too close to "too far", so put limiting straps on. The end result has been very effective. bob |
