Hello Everyone!!! I have a 1993 Delica, I love it everyone should own a Delica. Could anyone tell me where I can get a lift kit and a snorkel for Sherman?

This guy had both a lift kit and snorkel some time ago. May be worth checking.

I just use the stock snorkel.

I added an extra leaf to the rear suspension, re-indexed the torsion bars and gave myself a two inch lift that supports more weight in the aft. See: http://www.delica.ca/forum/canada-spring-3638.html .

The snorkel I really like looks like a stock type unit. It's more flush with the body and looks great, in my opinion. I even thought I might buy one until I saw the price..... :shock: If I'm not mistaken, it was close to $400.

Thanks, but no thanks!!

Falco, your "canada-spring" post is locked so I am posting here !

I did look at my rear leaf spring: they seems to be approximatly leveled (flat) whil my Van is somewhat empty though gaz tanks are full.

So how do I know these need to be re-arched ? I was looking to put n Airlift kit but there do not seems to be a specifically issued kit for our Van though one already on the market maybe suited. Any advise ?

Much Thanks

Lapprentis :M

I built a steel rack in the aft end of my wagon, I also have many items constantly stowed there. This is pretty much why I had the extra leaf added, to support the added weight. The vehicle lift was part of the process. It has made a big difference, not only to the payload but also to the performance off road.

I noticed that that link got lost. Mark and I will get to it once we get the time. This probably occurred when our server changed. We will also be looking for other broken links.
