mrwigglezdj Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 well as the topic says, im thinking about doing some lifting and leveling to my van, the rear of the van sits about 1 inch above the rear tires and the front is about 3 inches above the tires and i think it looks like total hell, i love the way the e350s and 250s ride high i was at the tire shop today geting new tires on the van, went from a 235/75/15 to a 255/70/15 this round and i like how the tire fills the wheel well nicely and i seen that my rearend is below the leaf springs , and instaly thought about geting redneck lift kit for the rear by useing them alum. blocks and extended u bolts to raise the rear 2-4 inches which would possibly level the front some, but i want more on the front and a little more on the rear so when i have the van loaded down like i normaly do it wont squat like a lil girl going pee in the woods..... what would be the best way to improve my ride height while maintaing cheapness....i know its hard to do but i dont have much to dump into it since the tires stole the money i had for my new head unit, eq/line driver and 4 sets of 6.5's i was going to buy is there a place where i can get custom built or prebuilt coils for the front of the van to raise the front via extended coils and use blocks/ and shackles in the rear... or how should i do it if im going to do it at all the van is a 1980 ford ecnoline e100 Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badasschevy Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 i wouldnt run an aluminum block, i've seen them crack and get spit out. another cheap alternative would be an add a leaf. as for the front you might be able to find a coil spacer for it, most spacers will give you 2" of lift.
