Bill,
I think I have a better solution than spacers.... the most comon complaint
that I have seen with these vans is adjusting the ride height like you have
said.  Most of the time the left side is lower than the right side.

I have a set of prototype ride height adjustable gas shocks in my Syncro
right now with a total of 4cm of "up and down" adjustment available and
almost 5cm more travel in the shock (as compaired to the Boge or OME front
shocks).   Compressed they are the same as the Boge / OME and extended they
are 5cm longer.

I can't really get too much more detailed until they are publicly available
at Fast Forward as I have spent a LOT of money in research and developement
with these shocks.  Hopefully they will be ready by December.
