4x4 Conversion - Looking for advice (Pros/Cons)

[Steve Hunt]

Timberline did mine. Tim actually sourced my 2008 E350 EB V10 Cargo which i bought and then had him do the 4x4 conversion and quite a bit more. 4" lift, coils/shocks, 250/350 axles, 16" Fiberine, 275/70-18, I run 45psi in the Hankooks. It's not a Lexus by any stretch but rides better than i expected. I don't have a comparison having never owned another one but I'm happy with Timberline and working with Tim. A handful of things should have been caught before delivery but Tim worked with me very quickly and resolved all to my satisfaction in the end.

We went with Quigley although in 1995 there weren't other choices that we were aware of. One of the plusses of Quigley is the use of stock Ford parts for much of the build which was a good thing when we had a breakdown in Baja.

Are you considering getting an econoline converted? I dont think quiqley will do a conversion on a used van. I think it has to be purchased new and shipped to them or possibly under a certain age/mileage. Anything but quiqley will also help the resale value. That said I have a quigley with the agile RIP kit and it handles about as good as I would expect a lifted straight axle non aero dynamic vehicle to handle. Granted my only comparison was from driving the the van as shipped from quiqley with worn out suspension but the RIP conversion was def worth it.

Hey Steve, Tim is doing mine. I take the van to him sometime in the next month. It's good to know you had a good experience. Since I'm located in Missouri, I plan on doing a shakedown cruise on some easy Colorado trails.

Agile no longer converts the Econoline Vans to 4X4...
