[FC] Hand front springs

[Ben's Bus]

Be careful your van is not too heavy. Mine has a home made camper kit and we 
had to get an unmodified spring kit to make it work...the original kit sent 
from Ken bottomed out on the A-Arm bumpers. The front suspension was apart 
seven times and put back togethet to get the right ride heighth, level, and 
lack of bottoming out. Ken was unaware of the weight problem (Said he did 
not know I had a camper!!!!!!!!) and had little remorse.
