Yep...remembering that, not looking to lift other than to correct the saggy old springs ideally, but do want to get 235.70.16s on if they will go...the reduction in revs will be welcomed on the motorway as well. I preferred the van on the 225.75.16s as when I put 215.70.16AT on it is noisier, and does less mpg...but at least they have some grip!

:idea you could just cannibalise an old set of front shocks to make the bracket

I don't have a shed, or a garage.

I have to disguise van parts as furniture.

Kitchen island anyone?

On a side note, I'm running 225/75/16 mt's on a standard 14" 2.1dj van. Everything is fine, apart from the odd steep hill and hitting bumps at speed.
