    Lifting a 2WD van!

    Hello fellow “Van Nerds”!
    has anyone done a lift on a 2WD Van?
    any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated!

    also any recommendations concerning larger wheels and adapters would be appreciated.

    thanks in advance!

    It very much depends if your van has leaf springs or coil springs in the back.
    If it has coils, you can look at this thread:

    Basically, either bigger springs in the back, or a rubber spacer. And the front is torsion spring, so for a mild increase in right height, there are adjustment nuts.

    As For Leaf Springs

    Considering the leaf springs for our vans aren't existent from what I've seen, would probably be a custom job for the rear; front suspension is the same for coil or leaf 2WDs.

    Small lifts with leaf springs are easily achieved with extended shackles and relatively inexpensive too
