Composite to Metal Rear Leaf Springs
Hello, I bought a 1993 Astro, AWD, Ext. last year, and just started working on lifting this van, 4" all around. The price was great, just $600.00. Wasn't in the greatest of shape, but I planned on doing a restore anyways. Most things work, but it does need some TLC. At least it came with a 3.73...

Re: Rear Hatch Lifts Are Shot
Since we are on the subject of Rear Hatch Struts. I have a question.
What are the 2 wires used for that enter the end of the struts?
I have checked my Wiring Diagrams, and still haven't figured this one out.
Thanks

Re: A few Lifting Questions
Thanks Dunedog. 1993 AWD I currently have the Overland 2" front spacers installed. I wrote Dan and he sent me this email in response: I have never had a issue with the 4" kit. You could use 80-81 camero/firebird brake lines or order the S.S. ones that I use in my spindle kits. Can't say an...

A few Lifting Questions
I installed the Overland 2" lift blocks on the front, all went well. I have a few questions. 1) Front Brake lines. I replaced the old tired rubber brake lines, and I have since raised the front with the Torsion Keys. It seems I could use another 4" or so, just to get the bracket that conne...

Re: THIS WEEKEND. Things to do when lifting.
I just added the 2" Spacer blocks up front. I haven't raised the rear yet. But, I did notice a few things on the front. When raising the front, using the torsion bars. I found it much easier to use a large C clamp. I removed the anvil at the end of the C clamp. There is a nice round end of the ...

Re: Window Frame Paintwork
