I already have a V10 Quigley and don't need another solid axle van .. I would prefer just 4WD .. a Dana 50 TTB would be a good fit for me.

Ray, don't get too excited - that price was for a 4x4 van - you would also need the transfercase, driveshaft, shift linkage, etc. So, I'd guess $10-12K.

Try F - 55 R - 60

See if the ride improves

It sounds like I can go quite a bit further on tire pressure. I will try it and see how it handles on the street. It will be interesting to see how low I can go before the TPMS gets angry.
