Listees,

My '84 Westy sags both on the left side and rear, which is no surprise
after all these years and miles.  Not much help on the archives, so:

I am considering some options:

1.  Swapping springs from side to side in hopes van will sit level, and
ignore the rear sag.

2.  Removing all springs and having them re-made.  If I did this would
it make sense to have the left side made longer to compensate for the
weight imbalance?

3.  New springs all around, but only shorter aftermarket springs seem to
be affordable, and that is not what I want.

4.  Bilstein gas adjust shocks?  Any experience with these out there?

I've seen the postings on Mid West Springs.  Who are they, and what
experiences have list members had with them or others?

Thanks.
