Honestly, I doubt it. So much has happened since IMS built that van. Keep in mind they were purchased by the Braun Corp. That spacer was all part of the original design. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/12/2014 5:59:39 P.M. Central Daylight Time, zoocr...@windstream.net writes: Tha

That makes sense, in fact my ex said maybe it had a spacer that they left off. Would the rising sleeve be something I can purchase now? When buying shocks/struts would I need to buy as if I had a towing package? From: wheelch...@aol.com [mailto:wheelch...@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2
