Something that helps a little but shouldn’t be done in excess, you can add some spacers under these seats to give a little bump upwards. Headroom should be considered but I’ve done it in my Express and it’s been a plus.

He sold the white van you have in that picture above by the way to buy the Duramax one he has now. Looks almost exactly like that white one but is a dark blue.

I’ll chime in, I’ve got a wife and I’ve had vans….still have one of each to be clear. I’m 6’3”and my wife is 5‘8” and she’s never mentioned anything about foot space being a problem in the Ford we had or the Chevy we currently have and we’ve done a lot of really long days. And she knows how to...

Score, great rig! Looks like maybe a -18 offset? If you have a positive offset you’ll be fine as well as a zero. To me a zero is about right on these with a slightly bigger tire. You can shim out the slider track to make it progressively slide the door out further as it goes back. Bolts are...

I’ll add that 4wd is primarily a winter thing for me. I live in Oregon and use it a lot in snowy road applications. Once summer hits, I almost never need it. And I still go off road a fair amount.

These guys know what they are talking about and I mostly concur. ive had both Ford and Chevy but only in the short wheelbase of both and both Quigleys. If the shorter wheelbase works for you, I’d say go with the GM van with the G80 factory rear end especially if you can live with 2wd. The 6.0...

Well done! I’m a big fan of those truck wheels. Should be reliable and capable rig for you.

If you already have the 3” lift then adding some reindexed keys for the torsion bars would be the next step. I have the Maxxcam ones and they can get you another 1-2”.

Good looking rig. It’s pretty standard and not a big deal to relief out that small inner fender. It’s just fiber glass and comes away easily with a Dremel or grinder of some sort then you should be set. You may also need to carve out a little from the body mount that is right right back there as...

Of course! RandallDee, my brother in law may be selling his. If you’re looking PM me and I can put you in touch with him.

GM Duramax vans get the 6L90 transmission, or at least started to once they went away from the 4L80 which was I think around the time they went to the newer LML based LGH engine code. The downside of this is yes, that motor then got more emissions equipment added to it so you could look and see...

Wasatch installs Tufports I believe. Haven’t heard about the outfit in Wa state but would be interested to.

The theory would be that the body lift would allow for clearance for larger tires, but if that is the cost for it and obviously if it doesn't allow for more tire clearance then....

Have you looked into a body lift for some extra clearance? My understanding is that Ford is doing a body lift from the factory on the new Transit Trails so should be doable in some capacity.

I love everything about it, nice job!
