I dont care for the style. They dont flow with the look of the Astro body.

My hoodlum friends call my van M-Van or Murder-Van because seven of us pack in it and go to the gun range. White van, tinted windows, filled with goons with guns!


My wife and I just call it "Van", not the van but the name "Van" like Van Morrison.

Just who I was hoping for! Thank you for the input.

Just as the heading states, can the front stock shocks handle 1inch of lift. I want to turn my keys up 1inch but my shocks are somewhat new and dont want to replace them yet (or spend the money).


Thank you for your support.

have you tried the diode in the driver side B piller. I grabbed one from the wrecker and it resolved my no DRL issue of 3 yrs.. LOL i think the drl are stupid and pointless. as for admitting to you don't know why they are there and saying they are 'pointless and stupid' ? .... that's just funny :mu...

Good to know,


but I cant find out why my 99's DTL aren't working?

No problem.

I did it without having to remove everything. Just crawled under, unbolted, dropped, re-bolt.

Looks AWESOME!!!! But, it could how the pic turned out but it looks like you mounted the bumper brackets on the 3inch body lift holes. I did that, and my bumper rolled up and didn't fit right at the corners. When I remounted the brackets, they one bolt hole worth hanging under the frame mount. I don...

OEM plus. I hope to build my van as if Chevy built an ZR-2 Astro.

Me!

Thanks for the info. Funny you say the thing about the trucks, just last night I saw an S10 blazer with them on at a local shop. And it got me a wonderin'

But does anyone know what year and/or trim level theycame on? I love those rims and would like to find a cheap set. Thank you. P.S you...

WOW phr1$k37 thank you very much for all the info Super cool of you to do all that digging around.

That great info CS144 look like it will do the trick.

Also thank you Kabey for your input but thats alittle more then I want to spend on my 3rd car.


Thanks for all the help

Did you do the swap yet? I forgot what I used but I did mine Dec '08. When I get back home I can try looking up my parts paperwork. But I do think it was a bigger Chevy truck. Basically for my '97 Safari I compared the physical size (we have the alternator bracket thingy) and the mount screw holes....
