I installed the UJOR 6" lift rear springs and longer shocks this weekend. I thought I could reuse the Agile RIP shocks, but they were too short. They measured 22" from center of eyelet to the base of the stud. I opened my Fox shocks from UJOR and the shorter set is 22" from eyelet to eyelet and the other set is much longer. The 22" shocks would not reach the mounting point on the axle with the weight of the van on the springs, so that told me I'm supposed to use the longer shocks. These shocks only have about 3.75" of shaft exposed with the weight of the van on the springs. Maybe that's all the up travel I'll need though.

New parts installed:
New rear ride height:
The rear of the van is empty right now, so it will probably sit a little lower with seats, interior, and spare tire.
Swapping rear springs and shocks took me about 7 hours. I could probably do it in 4 or 5 if I had to do it again. I had to get creative to attach the new springs as you have to flatten the arch to get them to reach the mounting points.
I had planned to start tearing down the front end, but I've been nursing the OEM 2012 battery along for a while, and finally said that's enough. The van wouldn't start (needed to reposition), so I removed the battery to go get a new one and spent the rest of my time sandblasting and painting the junkyard radius arms that will be used with the new front axle.
