I'm pretty tired of my van being low, it's ruddy impractical, and I'd like to run big tyres at the back and lower my belly mounted rad a little (may help hot air exit and get more air feeding through the scoop).
Does anyone know how much a spline turn at the rear equates to? I fancy raising it two splines from where it currently is, which I think will take it to plus 1. I'm going to get a standard beam for the front, but thinking the extra weight of the diesel motor will level it out around there? Then some big steels and big tyres!! |

one spline outer spline equates to about 2- 3 inch ish
I think we should make high the new low.. would make our lives so much easier when it come to belly rads  _________________ 1971 Devon Bay with 1800 Ford Turbo Diesel Engine (wip)

| cheers! yeah high is the way to go - going to get some chunky tyres to boot. It's a real nerve racking experience taking it into a field as it is - hoping to go to a festi in aug so trying to get it all done for then! |
