nice, even salvaged one in aus are expensive, saw one on ebay p.o.a. an running ones from the yard is nearly $40,000 bit of a bugga, they're my favorite van!
I really like what you did to the van but I know off road, it would have a lot less bounce if you install the shocks with the springs around them on.it,
For reference, I ordered the exact springs he said to order and they will end up the EXACT same size as your old g20 springs, however they will be a stiffer rare marginally lifting your van, so beware! Whatever springs he listed below will not be the same as he shows in the video, secondly if you order the blocks he linked they will work but you will have to drill out the center pin hole on your spring perch and get different ubolts!
what site did u get the springs and shocks? do I need to get longer shocks if I do a 4 inch lift all around? or say 3 inch all around?I got 31's and the look badass
@@VanabondI sourced the highest load capacity on the g30 super duty 7.4 model coil springs on rock auto. I'm pretty sure they were on clearance at the time
I’m really confused, leafs I measured are 2 1/4 on my g20 and the block kit you linked comes with bolts for a 2 1/2, did you just get frustrated with everyone asking for links and link the first random kit? I want to like and subscribe here, can you PLEASE link the actual rear blocks you used OR tell me that unbolt width and pin size were irrelevant and the kit you linked works fine.
I have no idea. My friend Justin owns the van and thats the link he sent me. He showed up with the van and a box of parts, I just helped him install and made a video lol
Full lock the tire hits the steering box a lil bit but he has been daily driving it without any major issue. Just gotta be kinda careful when turning sharp at low speeds, like into a parking spot
@@hellos5401 it is currently on 35's with no adjustments to the lift. We did this video years ago and this van has been beat to death and currently sitting in my friends (the owners) side yard, waiting to get resurrected lol. We just went full send with the saw-z-all, angle grinder, and bfh and made the tires fit
Just looked back at it, the new u bolts on the kit r square so they go in from top down (nuts on the bottom) and the factory were bottom up (nuts on the top) so nothing was really changed. The plate is just on the bottom now cause that's how it goes
This video is almost a year old and none of those parts have failed. The van has been to 3 gamblers, daily driven, many trips to local off road spots and been on multiple multi day road trips. 1 tie rod does currently need replacing but considering the abuse, I'd say they lasted plenty long. We also welded the rear and put 35's on and ain't had no issues
@@SlightlyMangled That's AWESOME. My G20 has over 274k on it, this past March, replaced all the balljoints and tie rods for the first time, but I have it LOADED with tools. I want to order the blocks and heavy springs for my G20, where did you guys get yours?
www.amazon.com/dp/B01GBUV7BI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_W69A64RW3HDFVDRWRYVA The springs r from rockauto, just search for g30 heavy duty springs. There's no way to share a rockauto link, unfortunately it'll just take you to the home page lol
