Express AWD bodylift/tire/shocks recomendations

Greetings,

new to the forum, am finalizing purchase of a 2012 Chevy Express 1500 AWD low mileage window van with a tow package and the G80 limited slip diff I was looking for.

Aside from being my daily driver, this rig will be spending time on the beach (old surfer), not going to be charging sand dunes, just rolling along the flats for no more then a half mile or so, however the sand does get churned up during summer. So thinking a 2"-2.5" or so body lift along with an uptick in tire size and some new shocks should be sufficient...?

Having read a dizzing array of what folks on the forum have done with their AWD Express vans to improve ride heights and suspension, would welcome suggestions from the 'been there, done that' crew on best way to accomplish this.

thnx!

I haven't been there or done that yet

I have a Chevy Express 3500 and have been looking into Boulder Off Road in Colorado. If you haven't already checked them out it I would recommend taking a peek at what they have to offer. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm taking a road trip from Michigan or ordering a kit from them and having someone local do the install. I am not interested in doing it myself even though I have a plethora of very mechanical friends who have offered assistance.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
