Hi.recently bought a 2wd 1995 ford coachmen camper van. I have been a toyota person so this is a new world for me.
Will be ordering a ujoint kit next year if we enjoy the van(coming from a built tacoma).

I have Total Chaos SUA kit in rear with expedition leafs and adjustable king remote resis, and I actually ordered a Bamf relocation kit through their black Friday sale last week so I can run a longer shock... Its just unsettling seeing the amount the frame flexes when using a jack back there, I...
