Unlowering suspension

Not sure if "unlowering" is a word but my van came with lowered front suspension and I want to put it back. I have obtained standard springs from a kind member here but hadn't really thought out what else is needed. I guess that the shocks will be different, anything else I need to get so my mechanic can just get on with it for me.
Thanks, Paul

Yes your shocks will be shorter i had to put mine back to standard after fitting a lpg tank where the spare goes

Your shocks MAY be shorter. Depends on the quality of the bodge, sorry shortening. Mine was on lowered suspension (sawn off standard springs) and still with standard shocks. So may be worth checking before unlocking your wallet.

As he said^^^^standard shocks are good to about -50 (with bump stops shortened) so often standard shocks are used up until this drop. Beyond -50 then different shocks are needed (ball park)
