I tried vanupgrades.com, but their stuff seems all for Ford &/or sprinter.
Apparently Chevrolet is not their interest. I hear &see lots of info about lifting Fords. Even local shops say ford is easy, Chev, not so much, or will cost way more for trial & error. I think even Photog on this forum had some redoes with his before it was right.
But thnx anyway!

BTW, has anyone done a body lift on a Chevrolet?
Maybe I'll have to start a new thread for that dumb question?

I think it was here that body lift was briefly discussed. IIRC the net conclusion was "why?", as it wouldn't increase ground clearance and you would have to extend all the RV stuff that attaches to both body and frame. Would be better for a DIY where you could do the lift before the conversion. You would gain space for bigger tanks, batteries, etc.

Booster, thanks for your input on my "dumb" question about 'body' lift'.
It was suggested by another of our unqualified shops here in Prescott.
At least it hasn't cost me any money to learn that won't work very well.
I might have to go to So. California or Boulder, Colo. to get it done right.
Thnx for all your valuable info on this forum. Very insightful!
Ric.

We need someone to try the Moog 81004 coils in newer Express / Savana vans: http://www.classbforum.com/forums/f8...html#post38933

Rear Air Lift bags would probably be needed to level out the van though.
