How does the front driveshaft hook back up with the diff dropped? We can only see it being able to come down maybe 3/4" before the driveshaft joints are in a bind. Van looks good!

It had Transit Offroad spacers on top of the struts. The passenger side CV joint was maxed out at ride height. The CVs will be blown out after a few miles when the tires go back on.

SEMA show photos of an AWD front end. This van had 2" front strut spacers on it. The short side CV was maxed out at ride height... We will be dropping the subframe to do it right and keep the CV axleshafts alive.

Just trimming of front plastic bumper cover. Rear arches need a little trim still, slight rub when flexing.

It won't be a kit for a long time. We might get a low roof 130 this winter and do another build so both Rob and I have built Transits. It will be done in similar fashion, but much more refined with pre-fab cross-members that should speed up the conversion process and now we know what parts to...

About 5K miles on the conversion. Hope to gear and lock the axles soon.

Good idea. I wish someone made a NV241OR adapter to make it a divorced case.

Update - 300 miles of mixed driving so far. Van is getting about 11 mpg, better than expected. The range is so much better with the 40 gallon tank. Was only getting 12-13mpg as a 2wd van. The speedo is correct for the tire size with the tone ring mod. The divorced Atlas transfer-case is very...

It moves!

Bumper is on.

Rear bumper/tire carrier is ready for some blue powder coat.

Rear suspension is nearing completion. We had a few snags that really stretched out the time line on the project, probably about 2 months. The original rear axle we purchased was bent. We discovered this after mocking up a lot of the parts and ordering items to freshen it up. A non bend axle...

Front end is wrapped up and assembled. All the little small stuff like brake lines, wheel speed sensors, power steering, exhaust, fuel tank, front drive lines and transfer case shifter are done. Steering system has been bled and we started up the van for the first time since December....

We plan to make a lift kit for the new AWD Transit. We will not be able to know anything about it till we have one in person.

The cats are back on the van. We had to move the driver side crossover tube back for axle/driveshaft clearance. Steering gear connection finished up.

Here are the differences from our point of view and some reasoning why the VC kit is more expensive. Van Compass 2.5" Transit lift kit -$1700 Includes: Front strut spacers, built in camber correction - 1/4" hot rolled steel Front subframe drop spacers - 4140 heat treated steel Front bumper...

We actually charge $1200 to install. We work with two techs and bust out the install in 5-6 hours typically. 100/hr per tech. We have stopped offering installation services and need to take the rates off the site though. We are trying really hard to develop more fun products for our customers...

Front winch mount and bumper back in place.

Final tube work and welding on the front suspension. A nice coat of Blue paint under way. The track bar bracket should not go anywhere.
