Hi all I am in need of some advice about lifting my 84 Westy front and rear.
Last year I was rear ended turning into my drive way, the collision destroyed my exhaust system and my engine mounting bars motor mounts ect. When I got the van back from the shop the new exhaust pipe before the cat and muffler now is siting about 6" off the ground at the rear of the engine. This engine is a in-line 4 Tiico and it is running really well. Instead of sweeping  the pipes straight back with two bends there is a loop in one pipe bends down goes  and then goes to the cat. this loop is the one that is close to the ground. Has anyone installed the high lift Go Westy Springs? How much lift did you get? What about spacers on the rear springs? Any experience? Last but not least what shocks would recommend?
Thanks for you time, Bill Witz 84 Westy 2 wheel drive
