For the use you mention, probably even a factory Limited Sleep Differential (LSD) and taller AT tires will do. With the taller tires you may have to re-gear your differential, that would be a good time to install the LSD. LSD + New Gear would be about $1000 plus labor. LSD can be clutch type...

I love my Falken AT3W. When time comes I may get another set.

Congratulations. Looks great. Looking forward to see what you do on this one. I liked your previous one a lot.

860s is longer uninstalled but since it has a lower rate, it comes down to similar height than the 880s. I am pleased with them.

You can see that I built the 4x4 with MG brackets. I've had the 880s, 880 and finally the 860s. I share your opinion on the 880s. I am not familiar with the Quigley set up, but I understand that from factory they have a very short up travel. This was the problem I had with the 880 springs. I am...

I loved that van! After having the Transit, how would you compare both of them?

I run 45 psi on 305/65r18. Off road I run 25psi. Not familiar with the Advanced conversion but I think they are quite decent. If the crossmember was not trimmed properly, the differential maybe hitting it.

They are more capable than you would guess. I have about 5" lift on 34" tires (MG kit) and it doesn't feel tippy. Of course you need to be aware of what you drive, but still I can keep up (mostly be up front) with any traffic.

I spent several days fighting with mine. The cheap Harbor Freight were useless. I ended up grinding the tips of a set of long nose pliers. Thanks for sharing these links. I am going to need to re-do the U-Joints and this time I may get proper tools.

Still fighting with them to get the second arm.

LOL. I am fighting the same issue with the same arms. Before placing the order chat and ask for confirmation these were 2 arms. Sure enough only one showed up. So far they are pushing the can down the road, but their web site still describe it as a kit and two arms.

Looking good. I used the rear springs from SD (43-1033HD) on my old 2wd E150. I like them and with a shackle flip they may give you the height you need. I did a review here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1372738-new-sdtrucksprings-on-e150-review.html . It may be useful. What control arms...

I’ve installed in this order: cc880s (too stiff, but I was running higher pressure on my tires), cc880 (good, but I was bottoming the diff against the frame) and the CC860S (2+ extra lift but not too firm). This is in a extended V8 5.4. You can see more details on my build..

The lift will depend on the springs you use. It is hard to determine the lift from stock since those maybe pretty tired. It seems that you are trying not to lift too much. Be careful. I tried that and ended with the differential hitting the crossmember. Yes, the corssmember was cut already. I...

Labor day weekend run at Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area. I probably pushed the van where we had no business but it was fun. Sometimes you have to pay to play. This time was a side glass. On the Gladiator picture you can see the trench we went into. Add a hairpin turn and you can imagine how...

I like it. Seems well executed. I've seen pictures of the back and the tail lights are the main thing off (old stile v. almost futuristic in the Volvo. I've toyed with the idea of doing something similar using a cargo Chevy Express or an Astro to do a high roof on my E350.

Good luck with the project. Exciting times. 880s maybe too stiff. I did 860s on my extended e350.

You need to change the output shaft to a longer one (4x4 version and requires to gut out the transmission) ) and change the output tail for a double flange. These are the markings on my flange. You will have to drill and tap a hole on your transmission since the flange is for older version of...

Oh the possibilities! Nice van. I have a similar family set up, wife and twin daughters (now 18 y.o.) and the adventures we have done in vans are priceless.

I didn't have any issues when installing a 2008 F350 axle on my 2010 E350 other than the connector being swapped (female connector was on the chassis on the van and on the axle on the truck or vice-versa). Maybe in your specific combinations the sensors have different resistance and the module...
