Wanna know how to jack your van up yourself? (video guide)
I know a few people like to lift there vans abit so we thought we would share this with you. I had a couple of hours this afternoon on the van to raise the front abit and this is how we usually do it (it might not be the quickest or most orthodox way but it works and takes just over an hour each side) Of course we accept no responsibility for copying our methods but this how to guide could be of interest to those who are thinking of doing it themselves. Your camber and tracking should be checked after installation too...

You dont want your spacers back do you Yours could do with some smaller ones to be fair as you dont have the weight of the winch
