I just shortened my van by four feet and dropped the top eight inches. I want to lower the suspension two inches. Anyone know what spindle and shackle kit could I use?

welcome aboard. The Chevy truck spindles are supposed to work on the vans.

Pics of the van would be awesome to see!

Go to www.lmctrucks.com they have all that stuff there, I might order the once inch drop coils for the front of my van for next spring.

I put 2 inch dtop coils on the front of my 79 G20, I liked the look but any bump would cause the van to bottom on the stops. It was very annoying so I took them off and put the original back on. Thinking drop spindles would not cause this to happen. Or is there a way to use the coils and not have it hit bottom?

I won't say this is the correct way to address your problem, but I noticed the same thing was going to happen when I put my 2" springs on. My solution was to simply cut the rubber bumpers shorter. How I approached this was to remove them entirely and using a ramp I compressed one corner to see what room I needed and at what point I would cause other problems such as rubbing. I think I only took about 1"-1.5" off and found everything works fine and I haven't had any issues since.
