This actually was not as difficult as i thought. I actually swapped the whole unit. and put a spare on the "new" van! 5 matching wheels !

Thanks dune dog! I have the whole unit off the 2000! I will hopefully just take the unit of of my dead (for the moment) 98 and switch. it was four stubborn bolts 13mm and a shove from where you would lower the spare from! took a little lubricant and a lot of elbow grease mixed with some curses!

How are you going to get around the NJ inspection requirements? (I am under the impression they are VERY stri...

Tried the push from inside option, and from the looks of it i cant access the trim screws while the door is closed. I was hoping for something before I try to break it!

He is only selling the kits that dont require him to weld, or at least thats how jis email read to me. I was looking to get the 8 inch kit and not use the body spacers as i am not looking for that much of a lift.

Nope Not frozen, they were frozen this am, but it got stuck after I was in it for a while. besides both sides should be frozen then and it wasnt that cold today! fortunately!
