Dont lower it mechanically, do it visually. I added sidebars and it looks much lower now. I have a lwb, so I dont have that "ass up in the air" issue as swb models

Does no one do a full air suspension kit for these vans yet? Such as VB air suspension.

Although why you would bother in a van that you load up with weight is beyond me.

Best to go with an air suspension setup anyway. At least you can adjust the ride height.

Definitely. It sounds insane to spend so much on a brand new van just to cripple it

I would leave the rear and concentrate on lowering the front, simple coil over struts should do it.

Here it is :

BEFORE LOWERING

AFTER LOWERING

I would lower the front, when you are carrying weight the rear will naturally lower... after all its a van and its supposed to carry a little weight

Anyone lowered just the front ?
