OK... So here's how I did it. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg11/mwhizard/IMG_7070.jpg I started off by doing a ton of research on this site and a lift kit retailer and had decided to just buy the kit and call it a day. I didn't want to mess around and thought it would be easier to have a combo...

The tires are Canadian Tire Goodyear Wrangler Territories in 235/85-16, $167ea. Wheels are Hummer H3, $200 for 5, Craigslist. Transfer case and electronics $120, craigslist. Airedale, Spencer, 8 months old, Priceless. ;)

I've yet to sit down in front of my computer so here's another post from my phone. I spent probably an honest 10 to 12 hours researching this project before I even bought the van. In fact I bought a transfer case and the related electronics before I found the van....gotta work now, more info tonight...

Working from my phone, details to come.

Before

After

When you get an uneasy feeling before you place an order from a retail supplier sometimes it's better to do more research and do it yourself. Result? Almost 5 inches of lift all around for just over $300 plus my own labour.
I'll show you how...
