As I was saying earlier. My hope is to limit the uptravel with bumpstop extensions. We can finetune this easily enough. The goal is to keep the tires out of the flares/fenders, nothing more.
As she is locked F&R the flex is not as important as it is not imperative to have all the wheels on the ground to ensure forward motion.
I expect that it should be fun to drive both on and off road with the COG a little closer to the ground. Not that it will ever be a hotrod (com'on, it IS a minivan motor after all) but I think it will be a positive change. And again... someone has to be first. LOL

Have you considered using jounce shocks (air bumps) instead of bumpstops? I was reading a couple of mfr's unveiled cheaper versions at SEMA this year. Something about using polyurethane in the shock. It was in can4x4, I'll look and check tonite...

I am thinking that 35s and no lift is doable. We shall see. Will have CVO bring in a 3/4" spacer lift too maybe

35s, No lift, folded pinch seem & Trimmed fenders... very doable.  I like the idea of no lift and flat fenders... should work out nicely. |

I say leave the lift, brace/trust the axle housing, add Cromo shafts, the new flairs and run 37's or 38's.......sissy   ;D |
