Im dew for new tires and want to fit around a 33" tire on my 98 GMC Savana 3500 ext.
So trying to fine some coils to fit are hard to find. In the future it will become 4wd but for now this is all I have to work with. Wandering if lift coil srpings from a 1ton 2wd truck will work. ???

Is the 3500 IFS or beam? Take measurements of the current spring. Coil diameter, coil count, coil thickness then compare to the truck springs. Calling companies will help here.

You'll also need to check if the shocks can extend that much. If shocks with longer strokes are needed the compressed length may be longer, which could require extended bump stops so they don't bottom out if you happen across a full compression situation.

I'd ask this question again in the 4WD Camper Van or Sportmobile sections. Sure your van isn't either, but others in those sections have likely dealt with this too.

The easiest way is to use a lift spindle. Ive had a gmc van that i lifted and drove it for a couple of years before i converted it to 4x4. Sent u a pm.
