Have you perhaps considered going a step below the air bags - I got the Timbren air springs on my rear end and like them. They act a lot like sway bars. You can get spacers to decrease the clearance to have them preloaded so they kick in even faster than normal.

And thanks for posting the picture Wookee! That's one neat van. Love the space murals. I also think that may be the same type of visor I have. Any idea what make it was? All mine says is "Dodge Custom".

Are you working on nebula too C1run1? Quite a fleet you've got there; thanks for sharing all the details!


Hey Ram ,
well if i have it my way it will have a 4 link rear end i have to see how much the new shop will take up moeny wise this year .
As for Nebula it's waiting and not going any where at the moment .
And thanks for your support .

While the time, blood, sweat,and tears used up during a project like this can be overwhelming.
When the time comes that the project is done and you look at it and you relies. I DID THAT MYSELF........it will make all the work well worth it.
Considering what it would cost for a so call "Pro" to do it and there is a very good chance that you could get the van back and not be happy with it.The money spent would seem wasted.

I had to laugh when I read this line. Some days I leave the garage after being beat to death for hours and think, damn that's all I got done today? Until you actually do this kind of stuff you can't even fathom how much time and work can go into something that doesn't seem to difficult.

You doing great work. I must say you taught me something too, never thought to do that with the welding wire. I worked on that same piece this weekend on the chop and I used a pencil magnet to hold it in place. The wire trick is awesome tho.
