You've exposed me!
Yes, I did have all four of my Syncro's springs stretched by the same place.
He had done another set or two of Vanagon springs in addition to Banker's.
I had mine stretched about 1.5" in front and 1' in back.  The change made an
increase in my ground clearance equal to the stretch.  I have been waiting for
the van to "settle" a bit before re-measuring and publishing the results to
the list.  I'll measure and post the results in early August.

Jim Davis
