Id say its definitely more than a 1/4". Wasn't even aware getting a used tire was an option. Thanks for the heads up.

Woof. Pretty significant difference. Hopefully the ~500 mile trip home didnt do too much damage. 😬 Guess ill go ahead and replace all 4.

I should have noted mine is a 2007 so no stabilitrak

Wanted to see what the general consensus was about new tires for our vans. From what I can tell its predominately RWD until there is slippage in the rear then transferring more power to the front. Is it recommended to change all 4 tires at the same time still since its AWD? Asking b/c I blew...

This is a concern I want not aware of. Sounds like the max charging current for a 100ah battery would be 10A. I was looking into getting this setup: Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt Portable Solar Panel with Waterproof 20A Charger Controller, Foldable 100W Solar Panel Suitcase with Adjustable...

Yes! Thank you. You and Mr.Google have steered me down the right path I believe.

Pardon my ignorance but Im not super well versed in this. I currently have a 150w panel on my van with a victron mppt 75/15 charging a 100ah battery. Could I in theory get a foldable 200w solar panel and wire it in parallel when Im parked with my 150w panel to my charge controller and charge...

No surprise the leaf shop wants to build me a custom set of springs for 2k. I think i'll go with the suburban springs for now. Anyone use the rough country control arms? Im wondering if these would work...

Interesting. I remember seeing your threads back when I was building out my van. Im wondering why Im getting the extra strain on mine. I found a leaf spring builder/suspension shop close to me. Going to take it in to further diagnose.

Sorry Im pretty car illiterate but after reading again and researching torsion bars, torsion keys and how it can effect the ride its all making sense. I get a lot of squeaking from the front of the van when turning the wheel these days. I don't really blast anywhere but Ive been down a lot of...

What year is your van? Curious about how that control arm kit is working out. I have an 07' express awd with the torsion key lift in the front(maxed out) and blocks in the back. This setup seems to be putting a lot of wear on my tie rods and ball joints. Anyone else having this issue? Im...

Chiming in as a current chevy awd van owner. Mine had rust issues that has come back. Apparently I didnt do a good enough job getting rid of it. I stripped the paint, used a chemical rust stripper and grinded out the bad rust spots. Painted over with rustoleum. It came back. Not much I can do...

Anyone else having issues with their upper and lower ball joints wearing quicker b/c of their torsion key lift? I have a 2007 express and had mine replaced in 2019 and they are already worn out. Im wondering if this has to do with added pressure from the 3" lift I have on the van. Torsion keys...

For what its worth I recently saw someone in a parking lot with a CCV topper on their pro master. I chatted them up about it and they had no complaints. Seemed very happy with it.

Looking to replace my shock absorbers for my 2007 chevy express 1500 awd. I have the traxda 3" kit (torsion keys and blocks) and just wanted to double check what has worked for everyone here. Currently looking at: Bilstein (24-186643) 5100 and Bilstein 24-185615 B8 5100. Cant say I'm too...

Been a while since I've posted here. My 2007 awd express is holding up great after about 4 or 5 years of owning it and countless trips down the baja peninsula and up to the sierras. Recently had to replace the upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends. Recently my suspension is super...

Selling my K&M swivel seat. Brand new never installed. Going a different route. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200487875_200487875 $60 Located in North county San Diego

You guys rock. I wound up taping into the reverse light at the rear of the van. I had already ran all the wires I previously thought were needed so had to rip apart some cedar planking to make it happen. Was looking for a front of van option but the rear lights seemed like the easiest. Im...
