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!

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

Spose so...but would have two lots of rubber in the mix...I'm sticking with how SDP intended,

what tyre is it your getting? If i ever get round to buying some new non sagged springs i'll be selling a 30mm lift kit

Well if...it's a 235.70.16 bfg m/t....

niiiice, if they are cheap, buy them anyway.... never turn down a bargain, well thats my motto (wife says my motto is, buy what the "feck" i want )

Yup...mine too.

And mine

Yes I agree ... if I want it Ill buy it. Trouble is I now have a shed full of stuff Ill never use!

She told you so....

Few. Glad it's not just me then.

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.

Nice table...pair of doors and 5 alloys in my dining room....and a windscreen...and various other bits and bobs...wive loves it!












Some of the above may be fibs..

My girlfriend is trapped in those tyres and I've put a lid on it

It's a 1bed apartment, you should see my hall!

on the other side of the coin if you have a big garage then after a while the place starts looking like steptoe and son`s! quite amazing the kind of crap you just can`t say no too
