I run pro sport shortened shocks on mine the silver ones from bluebird customs they have been on for around 2 years and are fine my van is down loads well over 110 (can't get a jack under it :cool:) is your van early or late suspension (drums rear or disk) after reading jimmy James write up I changed all my suspension to the later set up its got better geometry and lends its self better to going low. I also changed the torsion bars to purple ones and that made a massive difference

I got the torsion bars from a breakers yard struck lucky they came of a LWB high top van. A pain in the back side to change but worth it. Thanks for the comments on mine its changed a lot since the mag shot and even lower T:
