Hi, #-o I'm new to this site but I know forums so here goes... [-o<

:-k What other vehicle aplications can be used to convert a RWD Astro to 4WD?

What year are you looking to convert?

The front subframe is quite a bit different, torsion bars instead of springs.. I would say the easiest and best way to convert would be to swap in the right subframe from a AWD van.

You will also need a 4x4 tranny and a transfer case. Definitely will be easiest to grab an AWD sub frame with a front diff and suspension already attached.

:^o I HAVE A 94 EXT Rwd, I have alreedy lifted the back by adding a second set of OEM leaf spings. I believe it lifted it about 3" to 5".
For this van I will most likly will just lift the front now to an equal hight as the back for time and expence. I just need to know if iI will need to lengthen the steering shaft since the front springs I will be replacing?

I an looking at an 95 EXT AWD close to my local. That may be and better 4X4 convert option latter on. :-k
