My husband and I had custom springs made for the front of our Syncro and we
had the rear springs stretched and re-tempered.

 Seems that most syncros get that sag or lowered type of look and are not
sitting at what the original specs are.  Ours happens to be a little heavier
than most because of our Adventurewagen conversion.  The extra weight for all
the added goodies including propane tank, fresh water tank and grey water
tank, not to mention the solar water tank on top for showers.

We had a company here in California called Mid West Springs do the job for us.
We just had to measure how much they were compressed when loaded, weigh it and
tell him how much higher we wanted it to sit.

 We gave the name of the place to SyncroHead (Jim Davis) a couple of months
ago, but don't know if he has made a decision yet.

It looks great!!! Plus it sits perfect.
