@wjeeper Do they fit stock locations with stock control arms? Do you have part numbers for the front shocks? Were those custom tuned?

Thanks Len! Well, if you boil down that list, you get these options shown in the attached PDF. I don't see anything that looks better than what I have. It would be really nice to get that 25-177411 in there, but I don't think there is room to raise the upper mount, and nowhere to go with the...

Here is why I used what I used, it is also recommended for The chevy/gmc trucks with 0-2" lift. https://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/product.cfm?id=374944 Also, Lens chart link doesn't have the option for stem to clevis length like we need for our vans unless I am missing something. If anyone...

@akskiffer You are absolutely correct! Well, I come up with .88" less available travel with those bilsteins with the length numbers that I found. Stupidly, I never actually looked at the measurements since those front shocks PNs came up in numerous searches here and other places. I haven't...

I used Bilstein 24-186643 front EDIT(SEE POST BELOW, THIS MAY NOT BE A GOOD OPTION!), 24-221948 rear with a traxda ~2" lift keys in the front and air bags and 1" spacer in the rear. I'm pretty happy with the results although I think the front springs could be a little stiffer. I don't do...

OK, so quick update. I installed the Air Lift kit with the internal "jounce" bumpers and they are working pretty well. They certainly lifted the rear quite a bit, but unfortunately I didn't take measurements before and after. I just did a 300 mile road trip this weekend and they did what I...

Yes, I had two radiator fans from past projects and the control boards, switches and pot were dirt cheap on Amazon. The most expensive thing about the project for me was that small electrical enclosure. It flows pretty well, but could be better and quieter. I'm going to try the other fan...

Good to know, I hadn't actually seen any pictures. I'm still interested in why people use 2500 Suburban springs over 2500 van springs. I'm guessing they might be slightly lower and slightly softer?

Thanks guys. I ordered the Air Lift kit. I'll let you know how it goes.

I did the rear window thing with thermostatic and direction control, it worked out pretty good.

The bags listed for the 1500 Silverado are also 5000 lb. I recently rode in my buddy's truck who had air lift in the rear and it handled and took bumps very nicely. He was pushing the truck way harder than I would ever push the van. That ride is what got my on the air bag kick. Yes, I think...

It's mentioned here on post #15, but I saw other complaints that were similar. It might be an easy fix, it may be that the keepers are specific left to right and they installed them opposite. I'm not sure. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/new-van-life-addict.196943/ @Len.Barron I...

Hi All, Has anyone here installed air springs/bags, besides Choff? I couldn't find them for a 1500 AWD. I even asked Air-Lift since they had them listed for the 2500 and 3500, but they said they couldn't make a recommendation for our vans. Mine van is a 2011 awd passenger with traxda front keys...
