I'm not sure how many on the list have westy syncros but I wonder if those who travel with a full water reservoir get that tilting feeling (springs might be tired & one of the reasons i'd be interested in looking into adding stiffness). the
question is could the airshocks be adjusted individually to compensate for extra driver side weight.

Secondly, re ride hight & stiffness. I certainly want to maintain the tight handling (that way i blow by all the cars that passed me going up the hill). However most of my offroading is mexican wash board & rough beach (sand & rock) so i
loose 2 " of clearance when I deflate to 15-20 psi. I do find that the front end is far too soft when I hit 30-40 MPH on the beach (feels like a boat going through waves... actually it's really fun !!)

It sounds like an adjustable (airshock?? adjustable gas shocks) system might work nicely combined with heavy duty shocks. But ideally I think I would want a shock that could adapt to increased ride height and an adjustable (rigid) spacer
between the shock & frame.

Just a thought ... feel free to toss the hand grenades.
