Lifting '68 108

so i really like this van and im considering lifting my 68 and doing something similar..the local spring shop said they could rearch and add a spring for $100 a corner..or just block it up? or both...? what else do i need to be concerned about? driveshaft angle, steering issues, shocks, etc?

If you can avoid blocking thats best. The blocks act as a lever that accelerates spring wrap on braking as well as acceleration or when under heavy torque loads.

I've been there, I wanted to add a 3 inch lift front and back.

DON'T GO BLOCKS ON THE FRONT! Sketchiest drive ever! That is considering I was using CNC'd one piece cold rolled steel.

I did and immediately regretted the decision. Add a leaf and arch the front, the benefits will be that you will be SAFE, and that the ride will feel smooth. Pair that up with some good shocks and a steering stabilizer shock and you will feel a tight ride.

As a bonus you wont have to add longer brake lines.

You may have to lengthen the drive shaft though.

That's a sweet looking van!

Any update OP? What did you use to lift your '68?
