I originally did a 4" kit, now I'm currently doing the 6" kit. The only difference between the 4" and 6" is the springs and adding the track bar. I'm doing mine on jack stands, on a very slanted driveway. Not fun to say the least. For me, the swap is very straightforward, but heavy lifting...

Pulled the old 4" spring off: The new spring in with the 35" tire on. I mounted the tires myself. I'll bring them to the shop to get them balanced once I'm done.

Not sure about a filler neck, but a fuel pump, relay and a switch is all you need to fill up the primary tank from that one.

Ok, good to hear thanks. That's what I thought. I didn't think it was .050 or similar.

What's your exterior skin thickness? I'm curious what ambo's use for that.

pit bike muffler works really good too: https://rb.gy/oszkrb

What are you going to do with the cab of the V4? Scrap it?

Thanks lol. That's a sweet rig.

There's that, and do I really feel like doing all that too. Not really. It's just an option that's on the table. There's no way I'm paying $150k for a camper, or even $100k for a class c. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of having a van note at all. But I do like the new 7.3 gas option. I haven't...

UJOR can def give me a kit, and help. I have another option too. This: My buddy scored it for $3500. That's right. $3500. It has a UJOR 6" kit on it. It's a 6.0L and something's wrong with it. Not the engine, but the guy he bought it from was messing with the electrical stuff and now it...

I have the mini muffler on mine. It helps. BUT, you can buy a mini bike muffler for $20 and it's almost silent, I've heard...

Looking good. Axles are a lot of work!

I have a Chinese diesel heater and I have used it A LOT. I would guess at least 14 full nights. My only advice is do not hard mount the fuel pump. It's really loud and thumps if you do. I have mine zip tied and I leave the pump suspended not touching anything and it's quiet now. It works...

Today was a good day. Didn't work on the van, but I found a guy who literally has HUNDREDS of Ford trucks and a dozen or so vans. I bought some seats off him and a cab off a ambulance. Later on down the road, I'll make Betty Sue a cab / chassis van and build a box on the back. But, I may buy...

That's gonna be legit.

Here are links if you guys are looking for box vans: Supreme Boxes: https://supreme.worktrucksolutions.com/ Unicell: https://unicell.worktrucksolutions.com/ Basic prices I've seen are usually around $43-45k.

A F series that's already 4WD, and the 7.3 gas models (cab / chassis) are fairly priced. I'm looking at them too.

Weldtec makes a grocery getter kit. That's the only 6" kit that's not a 4WD kit. UJOR if you go 4wd. Lifting a van isn't cheap.

I think he bought it that way. A 10ft box is around $7k.

I really like that the frame is almost all flat except for that small hump. I need to measure one to see what the length is of the exposed frame.
