I am currently running the stock marshmallow/jello ride suspension, yes it's comfy but a bit too soft for me. I am going to lift my van and need pointers on how to maintain decent ride q...

Re: New member: San Jose, CA

Haha, yeah right, maybe if I kept it stock, I think my mileage will take a hit with bigger rims/tires and 3.73 gears, but I'll try that one as a selling point to the wife. I mainly want the V8 to pull a 5500lb old tri-hull boat, haven't tried it in the van yet but my slightly modified Cherokee pulls...
