You can always fit the ride height adjustable Suplex 5 link rear suspension  For that matter the Suplex RS front suspension is also adjustable over a 20mm range. Mine is currently set at a compromise 10mm up from the lowest ride height. This requires 2 10mm spacers (per side) instead of the standard single 20mm spacer.

I installed a Suplex Kit on My +8 Bitsa (1998 chassis & crosshead) using the low rideheight setting. Bilstein shock was too long (compressed) and it broke the bolt holding the upper shock perch. Installed a pair of Koni shocks which are a bit shorter. Actually drove to San Francisco and back with no shocks at all. Did not seem to need them. Seattle to San Francisco and back = 2,000 miles.

There must have been something very odd with your setup. There are plenty of people who have run them at the lower ride height without any problems.

All I can think of its the Bilstein shock is too long. It is 10 1/2" from the center of the eye in the bottom and at the top of the rubber that mates with the bottom of the spring perch. I bought this Kit from Mel Rutter. If You know somebody at Suplex I would appreciate You bringing it to their attention. Other than Mel I have no contacts. Button

I have a 2014 +4 and I found the problem with a non-sliding passenger seat was down to a mismatch between hole centres. The distances between centres of the mounting bar below the seat runner was about 3-4mm than the distance between centres in the chassis. Slightly elongate the holes in the bar with a file, to match, and also countersink slightly the floorboard under the carpet to allow for the boltheads mounting the seat runners. Problem fixed.

My measurement of the Bilstein shock (compressed) is 9 1/2" not 10 1/2" as I first measured. In any event I now have Dan Whites Email address if I have further problems. Button Seattle
