Thank you GAR for the info. I was hoping someone may have the PerfSo kit and would chime in. This is what I'm leaning towards: E250 E350 2WD SUSPENSION LIFT KIT 2 INCH - Performance Sales and I think you're spot on about fitting one tire before committing to the size tire choice. Thanks for that idea!
Hey E350Motorcross. Be sure you know what you're really getting with that PerfSo kit.
One of the pics they show on that PerfSo page you linked to is actually of an SMB Forum member's van, and I'm pretty sure his van had the Action Van 6" lift kit in it.....(forum member LeadDoggy)......
.....so these PerfSo guys are showing you something in one of their two pictures that you're definitely not getting with their kit.....just a little bit misleading/dishonest......
Pic from the PerfSo 2WD lift kit page (that they are implying is a van with their kit):
Forum member LeadDoggy's van with Action Van 6" lift kit:
I skimmed thru the whole 24 pages, and pretty much didnt see a Sprinter 4x4 at all here.
do they not qualify on this thread?
honest question.
:-)

There are a couple of Sprinter 4x4 tire threads. Sort of a sign of the times. The forum started out as E350 centric and is transitioning to Sprinters and Transits.

Thanks MountainBikeRoamer for the heads up. I did pull the trigger last night, and I ordered this kit: https://performancesalesonline.com/p...ft-kit-2-inch/ $292.05 out the door with free shipping. I didn't see the picture of LeadDoggy's van, but it's bad @zz! I just can't do a 6" kit right now due to cost. My alignment shop says they will install the kit I bought and do the alignment for $185 but if I need the cams, its another $34. From what I'm seeing I will have to have the cams, but $500 for the whole deal parts and labor is good with me. I just have to figure out what tires to go with. I would love to have a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but I"m worried about the size.
E350Motorcross --- rock on man! Others here can confirm, but with a 2" lift you'll be certainly safe aiming for a 265 tire. (265/75R16.)
(Also --- hey, that it is truly weird....just now checked that PerfSO web link again for your 2" lift kit and the picture of LeadDoggy's van is no longer there. Either it was a glitch on their website that displayed it yesterday, or someone at PerfSO made a change to their page to fix it....or I had one heck of hallucination....)
In any event congrats!

Thanks again MountainBikeRoamer ! I am out on the Nitto Ridge Grappler... I can't find 16's anyplace. So I will look at other options. But a 265 with the kit should get me up some for sure. I'll see what my local tire guy thinks too. I'm ready to get it done!
Hi .. new here aswell .. e 350 motocross love what you have goingon.. i just purchased the same kit (maxx-lift) i have a 2009 e350. I have been all over searching for rim and tire combos...i came up with a 17x8 -12 on a 265 70 17.. I think that will work with no rubbing I'm just concerned about my sliding door clearing.....ill keeping a close eye on this thread
Hi Tomwest, I got my kit in lightning fast. Everything looks great! I have an appointment with my shop this week to get installation and alignment. I'm looking at 265's. We'll see how it goes. I'm super-stoked!
