Allo all The previous owner of my 2WD 1986 Westy installed Weitec springs and Koni shocks in order to lower the van. The van has the Go Westy wheel 16"wheels ( 215-60-16). So now, the suspension sits at Passenger's front 13 7/8" Driver's front 13 6/8" Passenger's rear 15" Driver's rear 15" (with added 3/8" spacer)

I find the ride to be firm, but tolerable and van feels more secure, but I think the front drop is too much. For people who have installed Weitecs, I'd be interested in finding out how much your suspension dropped and what you're now sitting at. Any ways to make the front drop less drastic without changing the spring as I still need the van to fit in my garage. Thanks for any tips you may have
