hydraulics will lift far more weight than air........................ ?

So that's McPh front and torsion bar rear........................ why would anyone pick that
best advice you can give is to start with another vehicle.


failing that it needs someone with  a reasonable amount of experience to specify and fit a system, you can't play around with a 2 ton van that could be carrying loads on public roads  without knowing what you are doing.

Should i send him to rayvern?? ooooo i thought they had leaf springs on the rear ! my bad

[fatdaddy]

current ones are torsion. from '08 it was coils. maybe had leaves earlier ?

either way the struts are your main hurdle. you definitely want to retain shocks on something that size. you could look at keeping the OEM strut without coils and mounting a ram inboard if there is room.
