I expect it to settle a bit but i'm not picking the van up till the 10th.
Before, on the seikels, I had 48.5cm at the front from the centre of the hub to the underside of the metal wheel arch with the door open. Should be about 52 now i would imagine.
Rear I dont recall but they had sagged, hence the change.
Losing the bull bar has probably given it a bit too!

You don't need one.
Pray tell did you just drop the drive shafts or get away with heavy duty spring compressors?

Mine as an empty camper sits at 515 front and rear on saggy old original springs and shocks, plus 30mm spring spacers and shock extenders all round. I'd be interested to see how differently our vans drive and handle both on and off road. My Andreas springs are sitting in a box at home pending funds to install them.
