19 Astro, how you coming on your lift? I just bought a 97 AWD Astro & I spend summers in Colorado so I want to lift maybe 4". Have a lot to learn though so reading a lot. Putting new rotors & pads on Saturday and gotta figure out the tranny slippage, then on to more mechanical stuff before I begin the lift.
