Re: New to me 2003 AWD Astro
I have been looking around and I think I am going with the Journey 7" lift kit. I might substitute the 3" blocks for 2" and forget about the s10 springs. What do you think?

Re: New to me 2003 AWD Astro
So all the front gets lifted is the 2" from the spacers? The rear is going bto pick up another 1.5" from the s10 springs no? If the rear is higher how do you match the front without moving the ball joints? If I move the ball joints do I have to use reindexted Keys? The only thing that is n...

Re: New to me 2003 AWD Astro
So I am starting to get it. 2" spacers, move the ball joints, new torsion bars and the s10 springs with the s10 hangers will give me 4" of lift and I proberly could run 31's with enough wheel well modification? I am using the van to traverse moderatly washed out gravel roads at a slow spee...

Re: New to me 2003 AWD Astro
Thanks for the input. By spacers you mean the body lift spacers correct? They make a poly 3" spacer (are they sufficient) and I think I am going to keep it to 31's. Is alot involved to go to a 2 speed transfere case or is it a bolt up?

Re: New 2003 AWD asto owner wants to lift
Thanks for the post. Are shakles available that you do not have to modify? and are the s10 blazer springs the heavier load rating ones out of the s10 choices?
