Tires are 275/75/16 and I definitely want to add a locker in the future. I was originally thinking I would just do a Powertrax locker, but the more I think about it, the more I’m thinking I would rather run a selectable locker on this. Mine came with a 3.73 D70, and I’m sure that hasn’t changed...

Yeah, I just did the front. If you are only doing the spacers, and want to level out the van, just do the front. And yes, it’s much more equal front to rear... The write up is complete and posted, but I wish I had pics to go with it. I may go back and take some reference pics to add.

Chevy Express / GMC Savana WeldTec front spring spacer install guide Step 1 Jack vehicle as high as safely possible (the higher you get, the easier to unload/reload the springs) Step 2 Jack stands (you will need your jack to unload/reload the springs) Step 3 Remove front wheels/tires Step 4...

They were definitely not isolators, I didn’t save the part number, but they appeared to be a crushed 1” spacer made of delrin. The drivers side one was a bit better off than the passenger side, but they were smashed and mangled. I did put in new isolators between the weldtec spacer and spring...

Did the spacer install today and found a little surprise in the process... PSA; delrin spacers do not cut it on these big vans... yikes! I didn't know these were in there. Before install (remember, those delrin spacers were in there) After install

well hell, that was brutal! I did not get any photos or video, except before and after photos, but I plan to do a little write-up with at least step by step instructions. they are installed though and looks great! Here are some before and after photos. Before After

Man, I'm terrible at taking pictures when I do projects... Anyway, let's see, so far I have installed the rear Kicker 4x6's (as stated above), also installed some JBL separates in the front doors. I bought 15sqft of x-mat from Eastwood and did sheets on all the doors and sidewalls. It's amazing...

windows tinted today, also had the front turns tinted, and some black vinyl in the gap between the windows on the side door (although I think it needs to be redone. Looked good in the shop, but once in the sun it doesn't look even). And last I installed new Kicker speakers in the rear sound bar...

Hey Guys, Just order my WeldTec spring spacers for my 3500 Express Van and I'm just wondering if anyone has done the install and if you have any tips to make the job go more smoothly. From looking under the van, everything looks pretty straight forward, but the easier the better would be great...

It does have 3.73s, and I don’t have any plans to tow or change ratios. I had powertrax lockers in both my old samurai and ramcharger, they held up well and drivability wasn’t an issue. The samurai was worse than the full size, but still not bad, mostly just the clicking around corners that gets...

I plan to go with a Powertrax locker. I have a Dana 70, but I have not pulled it apart to see if it’s a 32 spline or 35. Either way, Powertrax makes a locker for it.

Been thinking about building a van for awhile now, and I’m not sure I’m posting in the right place, but here it is. (Hope I did that right) So, we are not really building into a camper, or even a sleepable space, we just want to use it for travel with our 3 kids and 3 dogs. Our plan is to...
