That (or -20mm) is the magic number i want to maintain. Dont want to drop it as I loose the ground clearance and dont want to lift it as I loose the car park access.
Dam this eternal compromise (and want to finish the overall build before I consider air, might not have anywhere to left to fit the compressors / tanks when I'm done)
Cheers!! Another local too!!
Yeah the van is basically "finished" right now, but I do have a list of some extra internal and electrical bits I want to add/upgrade, and I want to add some exterior upgrades like some arch trims, lazer lamps and/or a light bar (you can never have too much light!), some awning/side lighting, maybe a rear ladder... oooh and maybe a roof tent... 
Yeah it's a good height, I'm over 2m as I have the roof rack and solar/awning so I just ignore any car parks with height restrictions! I would have loved it to be actually lifted but I think the weight of the caravelle with all the extra gubbins (heaters, flooring etc etc) stops that from being possible unless you go for a full on heavy duty set up.
The before pictures look comical to me now, it looks like it was on shopping trolley castors!! The ride was like a shopping trolley too!!
It’s not cheap but does seem reliable and waterproof!

I love this look - did you swap out for standard suspension? if not did you alter the ride height when you took the 20's off? I wanna get some swamper wheels but feel I need to revert to standard suspension. How much were the tires and rims pls?
Hi kev and guys at last fitted the dry mat today.The large draw fits perfectly but the single seat draw needed a bit of modification (see pics) as it sits on top of the covers that fit over the seat brackets. Hope this makes sense.Both boxes are 12mm ply not 9 mm as described earlier.As said earlier do a test fit before covering 
100% can't have enough light (although the OEM LED headlight are pretty darn good).Cheers!! Another local too!!

Hahaha at the castors(I know what you mean, I'll post a comparison pick in a minute )
Awesome! I'm biased of course, but bronze rims look great! What wheels are they?Oh, almost forgot (hahaha)..... Today....
I tried the new shoes on, omg what a difference! (Stock T32 suspension)
