I ordered the 4" and plan on running 31's.
I'm working on a homemade retractable awning for it as well.

switched a four tires from 88 shorty to Astro (sd2brv) getting ready to move the vans around to make room for RV, bringing it home to start working on it.... install generator and repair some water damage at the rear, might be selling it to get bigger, better one.... buddy has a bounder, class a on craig's list, if I can sell mine soon enough I'll buy his, If I don't sell mine, at least it will be ready for camping later this year.... by then the Astro will be ready too, get to pick between the two, depending on how many people are going and location

Let me know how the awning progresses... I'ld like to put one on van as well.... picked up a 15' one off rv..... but think it might be too big, so it might end up on RV instead.

I looked under to see something dripping near the rear of the trans. Shook my head and went back inside because my 4 year old didn't want to come outside so I could work on the van. :(

Finished the oil change, got everything back together. It started really easily, and runs nice a smooth.
