Lowering a 2003 AWD

Hi guys. new member here. I recently picked up a 2003 white AWD. Just returned from a 4500 mile road trip from Colorado to NH and the van performed great. I'm also a working musician and it carries all my gig gear nicely. I think I'm going to keep her O:)

I read the thread on lowering the front end 2-3" by cutting out the slot where the torsion bar keys go. Seems easy and inexpensive (but not reversible unfortunately). I'm still unclear on the rear though. Can I get a flip kit for the rear springs on my van? I can't seem to locate one. Maybe there is another way? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Flip kits were available, but it may be that they aren't advertised since the vans haven't been built in many years. It is also possible flip kits aren't available for the later six lug vans... for whatever reason. I'd keep an eye on Ebay as eventually one will show up for sale.

Thanks for the reply. I will keep my eyes open.

You might try the DIY flip kit.
I believe a set of overland vans shackles will do the same, but read this thread...
