this van is -70mm more like 100 as the springs are bust . started fitting a set of -40's, no issues , new ball joints etc,springs fitted so time to add the new shock , problem i thinks
i have the front of the van with all the weight taken on the osf hub and shocker fitted to turret and the best i can acheive on the lower mount is 25mm ish short, only option would be to stick some spring comps on :shock: and then the sod will be rock hard as the shocks will be at full extension,
centre line of lower fixing to top of nice shiny chrome piston =13 3/8 then theres the threaded bit etc .
i measured a std shock and this = 14 3/4. maybe im having a blonnde moment??
