Good Day
A couple-O-pics and some specs on my van as shown here.
'97 GMC Safari AWD...all the options, including leather...3:73's in the pumpkins and includes the G80 locker in the rear.
Stage 1 Transgo shift kit and Vette goodies in the tranny. Deep aluminum pan.
Wheels and Tires...15x8" steel rallyes from an 80's 2wd Chevy truck, approximately 4 - 4 1/4" backspace...3" deep chrome trim rings. Tires are 255/60R15...
very minor trimming in the front wheelwells and the slider door opens about 90% of the way (more than adequate for access)

Thx
But that is the last we'll ever see of Her in "street" trim btw.
31's soon
T.Low...I still have that 97 Turbo diesel E-350 in the last pic...I believe you'll know who I'm talkin' about when I say "U-Joint"....SO freakin' tempting, so tempting!
But I'm gonna concentrate on the Astro/Safari platform for now.
My little Brother might buy this E-350 from me actually and go the full 10" on 38's route

Is your van at the stock height or have you done something with the suspension?

The suspension is untouched as seen in the pics above.

same size tires i have, on 15x8.5 american racing tailgunners, must have a different offset though as my slider opens fine. although i now think i no where the bizzare rub mark inside my slider came from...

Added another van to the fold. $350 '96 AWD. All the doors/handles need attention...drivers window unoperational and open 3"...power locks not working...starter gear is worn...needed a battery...the suspension is completely shot(very loose and sloppy ride)...It had two slashed tires when I went to pick it up, so I used my Rallyes to get it home (my '97 is shod with winters now)
Runs ok, shifts ok, brakes "stick" initially....has the G80 locker, but gears are only 3:42...good exuse to 4:10 it as this van will be the one going extreme with the mods later this season

Nice wheels, Loops.
Oh, Thats too bad bout the tbars. Nice find though even still, for 350 bux!!!
I paid 390 for my 95awd. It had those stinkin long Tbars too, but not anymore..... They both broke.
I got new ones from OLV.
