Any UJOR vans in Colorado?

Yes, the 6" on 35's is better for a few reasons. We can run a longer pitman arm on the 6, won't clear on the 4. The longer arm tightens up the turning radius. More wheel travel is your friend on & off road, the 6 has more, and we can run a trac bar on the 6. Too tight on the 4. And last but not least, every man eventually wants bigger tires! I've had a few guys start with 4 and then go to 6. Landyacht captain is here on ExPo and he did exactly that.

Out of curiosity(if you're willing to share), what's the approximate split/% of 4", 6", 8", 10" lift packages? My guess is that 6" and 8" are tied for the lead? Did I read somewhere someone had done a 12"?

Anyone in the DC Metro Area that has a Ujoint Lift installed?
I don't know if I can make it to NC to see one up close.

6" is most popular, I'd say that 8 & 4 are tied. I try to stay away from the 10's, run into front pinion angle issues. We did send a 12" to Puerto Rico, monster van! It may seem like we do a lot of 8's because they get so much attention!

Isn't Tyrone66 or whatever(the big blue beast) up in NY or something?

Im super stoked with the UJOR ride quality. Single finger steering is a reality. I was laughing out loud driving around 45mph curves out of fletcher/how straight it drives going 90mph, after the conversion. I went with the 4" w/33's. One limitation to consider is the space between the front diff and the engine cross member. Ive had numerous instances where mine bottoms out. No damage, but the jolt and noise make one cringe. It's mostly avoidable but if you hit the wrong size bump going too fast, whamo. I'm already leaning towards swapping to the 6" for this reason, coupled with the prospect of tighter turning radius and perhaps even tighter steering.

Ps. Used to be in colo, but just moved to utah for work. Anyone have a 6" in SLC area that would be willing to let me test drive?

I have a van in Golden CO - Vantom!

He's got a 6" running 315's. You can read through my build thread. Chris has come up with all sorts of goodies to increase performance/installation/drivability since I installed my kit but I really have NO complaints! It rides along just like my F250!

PM Sent - would be awesome to see your van!
