Don't know that this question has been asked before, but here it goes.

I would consider increasing the ride height of my 90 GL in part
because somewhere down the road I'll be sticking either a Zetec or a
Subie in back.  I have an entire Syncro suspension at my
disposal(since it didn't sell on ebay) and was wondering what it
would take to get the 2WD up in the air a little more.  I DO NOT wish
to have the AWD stuff or I would've kept all that too.  I also don't
want to do the air bladder thing inside the existing springs.

1. What makes the Syncro sit higher than the Vanagon?  Is it just the
springs or is it the entire suspension?
2.  If it's okay to just add just the springs, will that change the
suspension geometry to the point of doing harm to the rest of the
parts, or can adjustments  be made to the alignment and make things correct?.
3. If I bolt up the entire sub frame from the Syncro to the 2WD, will
there be gas tank issues with no front diff in place?
4. Is there a difference between the rear control arms of the Syncro
and the regular 2WD?
5.  If I use the Syncro front hubs, will I need to either stick  used
outer CV joint housings in the splined holes and tighten them to 140
ft.lbs. to protect the bearings?  Would simply adding a high grade
bolt and thick washers do the same thing with regard to bearing protection?
6. Any chance of drilling through whatever I stick in there to house
the speedo cable?
7.  if the 2WD gas tank won't fit up front, will the Syncro tank
still fit in the back with a 2WD tranny in there(I knida doubt that)./

thanks
