Looks super good, definitely the route I was leaning towards with my other van because the 4wd conversion was just gonna cost too much.

Swing out Spare Mount

Not to hi-jack the thread.... but this spare tire carrier mount looks interesting. Any photos of it installed on a van?

That is the unit we use for our swing mounts. Off Road Warehouse in San Diego stocks them.

They can be welded in place, or as we do, installed in a receiver tube.

They are very stout and have minimal flex, less so then what they are mounted to.

Baja Grocery Getter. 6" lift

Hey van world.... we wanted to keep you posted on what's going on in the shop lately.
This is our latest build with our complete performance package! This Majestic beast weighed in at over 8000 lbs. After a test drive it was easy to tell that the leveling kit previously installed was pretty rough although ride, although it did allow for slightly bigger tires. Now it was time for bigger tires and to improve the overall ride... With that being said there is only 1 choice.....
WeldTec Designs Complete Performance Package!
In the front we did the Baja Grocery Getter 6" suspension package with Fox shocks BY Agile Off Road. A set of limit straps just in case this van goes air born. To finish off the front we added a Fox steering stabilizer. With this kit as with most of the builds we do, the sway bar was eliminated.
In the rear we did our custom long travel leaf springs with a little more love due to the more then 5000 lbs of van living area. Fox shocks were installed on the rear to keep guest fast asleep while hitting the bumps.
To complete this project we added 17" American Racing ATX Mojave 2 with 285x75x17 BFG KO 2 tires.



This was another fun build, We are always excited to put another van on the streets. This one is Headed back to Las Vegas. Thanks for the business and we hope you enjoy your new suspension James

I have the Camburglar lift, It rides great but needs rear springs to complement the front off road, Whats the price on the rear springs? I may upgrade my front springs when I move from the 265 tire to the 285, It seems to be sagging a tad.

WeldTec, that complete suspension kit looks like something I would be interested in for my 2WD 2012 E150. What do you think would be a fair cost for the labor to install, ( ballpark)? I am in east Tennessee and would have to find a reputable shop to do the work.
