how high did your unloaded 85 Westy ride center of
wheel to lower edge of wheel arch? I heard the 85 bus
springs are the tallest. Are the 86 and younger
Westies using that spring or a shorter one?

I am not going to a full Westy. I am afraid the front
drive components will be very expensive in the near
future. Also the Syncro doesn't really have much more
ground clearance than a 2wd, because the transmission
and engine sits deeper to clear the rear cross member
for the driveshaft. I'm trying to get some air under
my Westy and one thing I needed to sacrifice was the
front wheel drive (sadly, would have been nice for the
extra traction)

Have fun,
Reinhard
