If you do the urethane bushings be sure to get the ones you can grease, and grease them regularly.

We are only up 2" which puts us right at what GM says the stock van without a motorhome conversion should be for height so most everything got better from handling to wear etc because it is back...

What year chassis is your van on as that makes a difference. My guess is that you have the older style chassis that went away in the 2002-2003 timeframe. If you have a 5.7 it would be the older...

1. Yes on Bilsteins but didn't check the part numbers. They are actually not air shocks, just gas pressurized.

Here is a pic that is close. I think this is for a pickup which is a bit different but has the same issue. On the van the control arm sits on top of the frame and the edge it hits is as big as this...

I know there are pix on this site of the contact area for the frame and control arm, possibly in this discussion. Also could be in any of the other lift discussions, I will see if I can find them.

I just looked up the Z trim height for our 07 Chevy 3500 Roadtrek in the factory service manual.


It shows a range of 4.0 to 4.5" with a preferred of 4.3", so quite a small range.


If our van...

Good points. I agree on the 81006 test is someone chooses to do it. I think I also mentioned in it in one of the previous discussions on this a while ago, as it is about the only thing left to try....

It appears that they moved the shock to the upper side of the mount and added a spacer besides to get more travel. When I put ours on top, it would contact the frame with the upper arm when in full...

That is about what everyone is getting with the Moogs now, which IMO is too much for a spring lift, but many have been OK with the results.


If they fabricate shock extensions they have to be...

Hard to tell much from that information, I think. The 17.75" fee height is the same as the 81004 and factory springs so would go in without a compressor..

I will expand a bit on the spacer to replace the overload leaf that is put into the stack like overload but just is a spacer. Dick used two to replicate the stock van spring height from the axle,...

This is a very good point and is probably why very few, if any, folks have had handling get worse, and most say it go better. The geometry of the steering is back to the position it was designed for...

Your are pretty typical of what many 210s we have heard about run.



First off, you are overweight at 9900# unless GM has changed the GVWR very recently. In has normally been 9600#. Rear...

Easy stuff first.

The Bilsteins are great shocks. The only downside is if you get too high in the lift, they can get to be too short, and we haven't found a longer Bilstein that has the right...

I actually don't have any big issues with the comments from Gerry Lambretti. But as he said some clarification that is very much tied to personal opinion.

Concerning the Solo Sumosprings, the big...

Supersprings are an intersting company and have some nice stuff.

I would not use the Erb coils over, they have proven that they can't handle the job and will continue to drop, I think.

If I am reading their website correctly as it is a bit confusing, the $325 2" lift should include just two spring spacers and be what you need. You would then use off the shelf MOOG 81006 springs...

OK, I think there may be a way to use stock parts to get a bit higher than the 81004 Moog will take you, which is just under 2" of lift from normal stock or about 35.5" at the wheelwell.
