chris, any pics from the INSIDE of that high roof van with regard to the window opening on those side door windows?

Yes it's already rerouted but the T joint where the drivers side connects to the Passengers side has to be creating some sort of blockage right?

I'd have to see it.

Chris, on my 6" kit that I am running on my EB 7.3 SMB I have the std Bilstein 5100's. Definitely wanting a little bit more rebound damping as my rig is pushing @11k lbs loaded up - question is there any difference in performance between the Std Fox 2.0s or the Fox 2.0 Res? The rears in particular feel like they 'porpoise' over bigger compressions on the road. Thx!

that'd be awesome, and while I'm sure swapping doors to factory windows is probably better, those might be better for the budget/paint match

Any difference in sound/performance between those equipped with a CAT vs without? Especially for a 7.3 diesel? Up here Newer ones had no CAT and older powerstrokes had one.

Those shocks will behave the same, the res shock will only be better when its being cycled a lot. I'm much happier with the Fox shocks than Bilstein.
A bit, not much. May notice the turbo spooling up a bit quicker.

Border isn't the hard part. Safety inspections are the hard part... Don't require those here unless you piss off the cops.

Agreed about the inspections but I've found the border to be the complete opposite. I get asked every time about any repairs or alterations and if you tell the truth when asked and you just had a conversion or even a lift installed you will not cross with that vehicle. I get asked all the time about the 4x4 and lift on my van when crossing back into Canada. I also have 3 buddies that are border officers and they have confirmed this. You can hope they don't ask you when you cross, but it's not worth the consequences if caught lying about it. Inspection will be the next hurdle. I know it's been done....but it wasn't legit.
