DerPro....Looks great!!! Is that a 6" lift or 4"?? I am dropping my van off next Friday to Jeremy to do a 4" lift and add-a-leaf to the rear. Like you, I definitely do not want the Pre-Runner look. Love your van! Nice work WeldTec!!!

I think it's somewhere between the 4-6"

If any of you guys with the 4" kit and the add a leaf on a RB can do me a favor, I would like a measurement from the ground to the floor of the rear of the van and at the side door. Trying to figure out how tall it would be before I proceed.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Won't that depend on what size tires they have?

Also, several other factors.

Measure suspension lift change by measuring from the axle center line to some fixed point (top of the fender well) before and after. A 4" kit should increase that measurement by ~4".

I don't care to know the change to the suspension from stock, I want to know the height that I will have to deal with when climbing into the van if I go with the 4" kit. And ya tires will matter but unless your cramming a super tall tire under there, which wouldn't make sense if you want to get full range, then it shouldn't make enough of a difference for why I want to know.

Thanks!
