I STARTED THINKING ABOUT A CAMPERVAN AGAIN. Kids do not really want to go car camping with the folks nowadays. We had a '79 Westie before parenthood then an '86 syncro gl vanagon with a California conversion pop top. Sprinters and the volume within got me jazzed on the idea of a camper build. I...
Len.Barron I agree and I'm starting a build thread.
What I think would be great is a 1500H1(AWD) branch for our vans, I have been using the forum search and the main 35 page thread is too much for me to recall which page had my interest.
YO, WEBMASTER /RINGLEADER CAN CHEV 1500 AWD PLEASE HAVE...
Len.Barron is that your van? You added the switches and boxes? Trick!
Boxes are right below my sink vanity which is crammed full(water, grey water, battery, plus adding the charge controller, fuses etc. and Kw inverter)'Xmas goodies'
I would love to mount my camping battery on the frame and...
I am putting weldtech fox 2.0 in front and replacing my wasted rear bump stops with sumo springs... I am excited to get up in the cascades and the snow!
Thanks,

Anyone experienced inability to move the shifter to first? My van shifts through the gears but I can only move the shift linkage down to 2.

did you reshock an express?
I watch a race truck and the view from the cab is full steadycam or marshmallow. could suspensions like that function on the hiway?
Thanks,

wouldn't that be "don't give more down travel"since the twisting is lowering the resting position of the wheel hub etc., but using the same suspension thus range of motion (to the stops)?
doesn't twisting change the resting spot within the range of motion? or Static ride height within that...
how do ZR1 bump stops differ?
how is top out perceived? wouldn't that be when catching air or the moment before hitting the far side of a pothole? or tires coming off the ground sooner while using a jack?
I am still trying to grok the basics i.e. the up travel issue ( more height in the tire...
JayKray I appreciate your comment. topping out-is running out of extended travel right? if a rig is lifted the shocks are already being extended, does a lift give the rig more uptravel? range of motion ?
Thanks,

jaycray. looks like less travel than stock by over an inch in front.
isn't the goal max suspension travel?
ever bottom or top the front shocks out?
Thanks
I have checked loads of references for front shocks in the forum. I can't find matching mounts and dimensions.
all I want is some great front shocks for my '09 express 1500 H1(awd) LT * cool to state H1 instead of AWD?
I like being out in the wilds and want what off-road performance I can get...
