AFTER:


just remove the leaf spring from ABOVE the rear axle & refit it UNDER the rear axle

on a mk5/6 van u can reuse the u-bolts & need nothing more then 24 washers & a grinder.

i put 3 washers over each thread on the u-bolt before the nut as when doin this you are close to runniung out of thread on the bolt as it tightens down further

the 2 leaf springs are bolted together, u will need to grind the nut of the top as this point is central & u need to put the axle exactly where the nut is.
when clamping it all back together the 2 leaf springs are squashed together so this doesnt matter (grinding the nut off)

JUST REMEMBER WHAT WAY YOU TAKE THE REAR SPRINGS OFF, FRONT IS FRONT & REAR IS REAR AS THE ALINEING PIN IS NOT CENTRAL IN THE SPRING & IF FITTED YOU WHEEL WONT SIT CENTRAL IN THE ARCH
