Not quite the same thing, but similar. I have 930's on my Syncro
and put a modified spring perch on the rears that are heim-jointed,
which allow the trailing arm to travel, without bending the spring
longitudinally, it stays straight while the suspension travels up/down. 

Because of an additional ride height of almost 2", I put a Pro Comp
shock that is a 14", stock height is 12". We put the van on a lift and let the wheels
go to full droop and could see that the splines on the axle/CV
interface were too close to "too far", so put limiting straps on.

The end result has been very effective.
