VW t6.1 ocean swamper LIFT conversion

[akprincehbd]

Hello,

I have a vw t6.1 ocean, seems the back is a bit heavy even unloaded. So I look into the THQ and find this :

VW Transporter T5/T6 – Eibach – Rear Lift Balancing Springs​

https://transporterhq.co.uk/vw-transporter-parts-styling-accessories/vw-transporter-suspension/vw-transporter-lift-kit/t5-t6-eibach-rear-axle-reinforcement-springs/

However after installing it it's still not high enough.

I want to lift the cali by 1 to 2 inch (best), anyone has any experience on the lift conversion done of T6.1/T6 ocean? I guess they weight quite similarly.

At the moment I don't want spend too much money on the VB suspension, I want to use spring or spacer to solve the problem. Any model of the spring / spacer to recommand?

Thanks

Are you trying to increase the the wheel - wheel arch gap on the rear?

You do realise it is an Optical illusion.

The wheel arch is cut higher on the front compared to the rear. If you equalise the tyre- wheel arch gap then the vehicle will be nose down.

Thanks for your reply, I see your point, I think with this Rear Lift Balancing Springs the car is quite level from I can see. Front suspension is all stock never touched.

From this current sitting level if I still want to lift the car by 1-2 inch what should I do is the best way? (avoid air for now), should I just buy a 40mm lift spacer kit to put to both front and rear? or should I change to a more hard spring to both front and rear.

As far as I know I don't know if this is correct, with the current front and rear soft spring + a spacer (lets say 40mm) I should get about 40mm height lift but still running very soft because the spring doesn't change. And if I just swap to both front and rear with hard spring without spacer, then I will probabbly get same 40mm lift but very bumpy ride is that correct?


Because I often go to woods and doing a lot of offroading I want to have as much ground clear as possible. Without changing the stock shock absorb.

Thanks

Below is the level my car sits right now, front is the same as back
