  • Lift kit for a van

    Need some help finding a front lift for my 94 chevy van. Needs to be raised 2 inches to clear tires. Don't want to put the anemic skinnies back on that truck. Anyone know where I can find such a kit? I've hit a few 4x4 places and they said they have no idea where to find them. I would think the 3500 or 1 ton pickups would be the same, since they are truck chassis. Will post pics before and after the lift.

      If you find a 2wd lift for a truck, it might work. A 2" lift usually is just springs or a puck, from what I've seen.

      If it was me, I would pull a spring out, measure its length, width, coil count and coil thickness, then go take a walk around a pick n pull and try to find one that is a bit taller with a bit thicker coil.

        There are a number of people who have converted vans to 4x4.

            There is a silver diesel 4x4 Econoline in Garland that looks like it has a lift. Has a safari basket on top and ranch hand bumpers. Would have never thought about wanting a full size van till I saw that one.

              There is a company that builds them in AZ or NM still. I would love to own one.

                The cool factor is high, but unless it has a faucet/toilet with ballast tanks near or below CV that are full, the rollover factor is high on turns, even on the freeway.

                I guess you could use it to pick up the taller highschool girls wanting icecream.

                  Actually I wanted to even out the front end. It has a serious rake on it. The ass end is high and the front needs to raised.. Or I could lower the back end, but then would I loose towing clearance? Give me like a day or 2 and I will post pics up on my album page before and after.. The factory tires are 225/70/16.. I put 265/70/17's on it and the front rubs horribly. So drop it or raise it?
