Here | | | Re: LOWERING MY VAN | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 1,051 old hand | old hand Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 1,051 | 2.5" drop spindles, Summit brand, cut 1/2 coil, de-arched the rear springs 2", running 15x6 with 225/70-15's and 15x8 with 275/60-15's Also running front sway bar from a Beauville and a rear sway bar from a 1998 4WD Suburban flipped upside down (originally pointed rearward and on top of the Suburban rear). Air shocks because de-arching makes the springs softer and I tow a car trailer and other miscellaneous stuff. Handles like a Camaro, flat and firmly planted but still rides very well. Run 10 PSI in the shocks when not towing, 55 PSI with a car trailer and 3k lb car.

Where did you get the mounts/link mounts/hardware? Just stuff you pieced together? Or some sort of kit? | | | Re: LOWERING MY VAN | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 1,051 old hand | old hand Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 1,051 | Basic aftermarket kit. I bought it used so I'm not sure of the brand. I flipped the end links over is all. The mounts even lined up with two holes on the body crossmember. Drilled one hole on each side and bolted it on. This is what the kit had except mine has one piece end links. https://www.suspensionconnection.com/7608s4.html
