Uprated shocks

[trainspotter]

Hi

I am concerned that when I fit a heavier engine in te van it will lower the rear which I do not want - I want to have a standard ride height

Has anyone any suggestions about what will work best - should I raise the suspension on the torsion bars?

Should i go for longer shocks with coil overs that can raise the rear 2"?

any other ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

We've got a cast iron V6 in ours and we only had to raise the back by 1 spline on the spring plates to level it off. It's a pretty easy job as long as they're not rusted on

Thanks for that, anyone any experience of this?

I have just hung the engine in the back of the van today as a trial run and it looks like the back of the van is down 2" at least

any ideas on uprated shockers or longer shockers once you raise the rear would be appreciated
