Raising the back of your van for less than £7 a side (Video)

Post by jed the spread »

This is useful even if you have a 2wd Westy but ultimately its how to lift the back of your Syncro for a couple of quid.

Not to have a go lads but its still being put out on the world wide web and no mention of brickwerks who have developed a product for this purpose :?
the syncro community is also a small one , and I feel it is important to support those Syncro businesses that have been supporting us with product R&D for years, most of which is/was funded with love not profit.
Just something to be aware of maybe don't you think ?

Have we been consulting our legal dept :D could have swore there was a reply from Jake last night which has since been deleted was it at odds with the disclaimer? :wink:

High much could you sensibly raise the back with this method? With standard shocks?
