Dropped off my van at Weldtec Designes!

Oh and sorry to DerPo for semi jacking the thread, I meant to put this in the Weldtec thread that was started about his 4" kit but wasn't paying enough attention and put it in here.

Take current measurement, add ~4 inches.

I was going to do that, but then I realized that the weldtec kit doesn't have the same rake that the stock setup has. So one of those measurements will be 4 inches higher but the other one won't be, and I also read somewhere that the front was only lifted 3.5". Thats why I was asking to figure out exactly how high the rear and side entries were for more clarification.

I went out in the driveway and measured three E250 vans for you:

This measurement was from the step on the passenger side door to the floor.

1: Stock E250 with 245/75R16 tires (tire height 29.5") was 21.25".

2: E250 with 3.5" front lift, no rear lift with 245/75R16 tires (tire height 29.5") was 23.25". (This van sits very low in the rear and will be getting a 3" lift in the rear before it is done.)

3: E350 with 3.5" front lift, 3" rear lift with 285/75R16 tires (tire height 31.75") was 26".

Subtract the radius of each tire (van sitting on the axle center line) and you get the following:

1: 0" lift at the door step (it is stock).

2: 2" lift at the door step, with just a front lift.

3: 3.625" lift at the door step with front and rear lift.

You can see that tire size makes a big difference until you normalize everything. So does the "personality" of each van.

You can extrapolate from here.

I hope this helps.

Nice! Thats exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you for the info I appreciate it.

No worries. I'm sure someone will have this question down the road

[DerPo]

Thought I'd do a little update-

I've put over 2K miles on my lift. 1K with my wheels and tires. i JUST picked up my front bumper and winch yesterday. I love it!








Here are some pics with the wheels and tires.







With the van fully loaded for a week trip the rear sits a little low. Jeremy is going to have the guy who made the rears add another leaf. Even withe the van loaded up, it still rides great.

Looks great!
What tire size and rims (also rim specs) are you running? No rubbing at all on the back of the front fenders?

[Jsweezy]

Just to clarify and make sure, that's the 4" lift correct?

Derpro has our complete performance package. That is a 6" lift.
