Looking to get some opinions on the Ford straight front axle conversion on a Chevrolet 4 x 4 van conversion.
I previously owned a Sportsmobile Ford E 350 4 X 4 Quigely with a 4 inch lift. The ground clearance was fairly adequate for my needs.
Sold it cuz I no longer wanted a pop top..

I have a '03 Chevy 3500 Roadtrek 190 that I can't even go up a driveway without bottoming out. Well, it's not that bad, but pretty close.
I was considering Weldtec's 5" lift. I would have them do the install.
I live less than 1/2 hour away, so seems like it would be logistically easy.
I...

Not really understanding the dual steering stabilizer set up. I know that is pretty standard on Javier/Crow builds though. UJoint leads me to believe, if conversion done right, not needed.
Interesting looking vehicle though.

This vehicle was originally posted on Facebook for $49,999. When I reached out to the seller to ask who did the four-wheel-drive conversion, he just said previous owner.
Any guesses? ?

Sill researching my next vehicle.
On top of my list would be an older Earthroamer with a bulletproofed 6.0, and the larger tires. Ideally, I would like to be in the $150-175K price range.
I just saw this...

I would imagine pretty slow, but could probably handle some weight.

Kinda unique.
First year of 6.7, which had turbo issues. Probably already fixed with 170K + miles on it.
Serious overhang off the rear.
Salvage title.
Still mulling over what will be my next vehicle.
Love my Roadtrek, but even with a lift from the awesome people at Weldtec, it still won't have much ground clearance. Ford straight front axle conversion from BOR would probably give me the clearance I need, but I haven't heard any positive...

Not mine, and no affiliation.
Very nice looking.
Pretty sure this is a 3500/1 ton though.
Haven't heard anything real solid about BOR Ford straight front axle 4 x 4 conversions.
