    Weldtec Design 2WD Bent I-Beam Lift for E350 (E series vans)

    Pulled the trigger on the stage 1 kit from WeldTecDesigns with Fox Shocks all around. I have basically new, aggressive ties in the stock size. I'll see how it looks but planning to stay with the 245/75-16

    CSV E250 build

    Did you change tires at the same time as the lift? How much did the larger tires contribute to the improved ride?

    WeldTec Designs 6" Ford E-Series suspension specs "twin i beam 2 wheel drive"

    Best thing to do is assemble without the spring if you can, and run it through its full travel. See what hits first. I'd want the bump stop to hit before the shock bottomed out on its integral bump stop. The fast trucks with big money long travel have fancy air bump stops. Taller and softer...

    Lights under the toe kick are a nice touch.

    Yes the mass loading materials don't need to cover every inch. I understand it that the mass loading materials do a different job than the insulation. You want to knock down the vibration of the panel with the mass loading stuff, then use insulation to dampen the temperature and noise, then an...

    Head room in ambulance conversions?

    I have 6'2" in the center of my van, I'm 5'8" tall. It's priceless to me to be able to walk around inside the van, or even over the top of stuff without having to be hunched over. Having had a regular height van, and now this big girl, the ability to walk around upright is non-negotiable in...

    Weldtec Design 2WD Bent I-Beam Lift for E350 (E series vans)

    In regards to the gearing change, I'm thinking of doing the same thing for my E350 with 5.4l. My main motivation is to keep the van from downshifting out of OD so often. It seems like at cruise my van is below the power band, and a change in axle ratio would help out the big girl. Did you...

    WeldTec Designs 6" Ford E-Series suspension specs "twin i beam 2 wheel drive"

    That's good info, 12" of travel with the lift installed, and prior to the lift maybe only 7 or 8" of travel stock? More wheel travel is better, but I load motos into my van all the time with a ramp, so trying to balance suspension travel with loading height and ramp angle. Sometimes I'm too...

    A little BLA BLA & Tube Bumper with a winch mount (WTD)

    Looks awesome! I agree on adding the shackle mounts. It's nice to be able to run the line through a pulley and back to the vehicle to double the pulling power.

    Do you know the wheel travel of a stock E350 compared to the wheel travel with your 4" kit? My van seems to have very little suspension travel and I'm looking to improve that.

    This is what I'm planning on sticking to the inside of the body sheet metal. You only need to cover something like 25% of the surface area to knock down the harmonic resonation. I have a passenger van with the plastic interior panels. I'm planning on keeping the plastic panels, and I may...
