[urlhttp://www.customautoparts.net/images/suspension/rearflipkit.html#Chevy/GMC%20Trucks[/url] I know there are a few places out there that make astro suspension stuff. I'll let you know of any more links when I find them. | | | Re: lowering kits? #80479 January 31st 2002 2:36 am | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 6 stranger | stranger Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 6 | Several kits are available, most of them are similar and usually drop the rear 3 inches. It will depend how low the front of your van is as to whether this is too much. Check out the suspension section at "www.racecraftconversions.com" | | | Re: lowering kits? #80480 January 17th 2003 9:32 am | Anonymous Unregistered | Anonymous Unregistered | How'd your lowering project work out? I'd like to do the same to my '95stro but not sure whether to use dropped spindles or coils on the front & drop blocks or new dropped springs on the rear. Anyone have any thoughts/experience with this ??? Thanks !!! | | | Re: lowering kits? | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 165 member | member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 165 | when there stock the rear is one inch higher than the front. so most that want good drivablity use the 2/3 drop. 3 flip kit for the rear and a 2in drop spindle up front. you could use a coil but you have a lot more work to do if so. and i havent used the springs yet so no comment.

The one's I have actually measured out after installation at 1.5". Which was about what I wanted to get it level. Am I in the GM area?? opps! | | |
