I would like too lower my 85 B Plate T3 Van, currently running Merc wheels with 225/55/16 rear and 215/55/16 front,
Have been looking at the 70mm springs, will i get these on without issues, is it best to change shocks or can i use the standard one's, do i need to consider anything else, ie bump stops etc.


It's all new to me so any help/advice would be appriecated.

Thanks.

Try the 'Brickyard' forum, they have a thread devoted to lowering, most of your answers will be there

Or try the search facility It is amazing what you can trawl up from it

If you have a campervan and use it for camping i wouldnt bother with the 70mm drop if it was my van. Its going to be trouble, now a panel van used for teararseing around or a pickup then thats another ball game.

I have similar size tyres, and a 60mm drop, I wouldn't want more than that
