[campervan]

hi i am about to buy a 95-2002 e250 and turn it into a off road campervan the 4wd ones are a little more$$$ so i am going to go with a 2wd and put a lift kit on it and get a winch for it but i was wundring if they have a 4wd kit for a 2wd e250 so i can change the 2wd it a 4wd? i have looked around and havent found any but i figured that if anyone one would know it would be you guys and gals i would just spend the extra money and get the 4wd but i am 18 and going to school so i am on a budget so any input on the subject would be great thanks everyone!!!!

Total weight rating for one. Not sure if the frames are different...carringb posted something on this way back IIRC.

The only down side I see to the E-350 (1 Ton) over the E-250 (¾ Ton) is that a few states make you register it as a “commercial vehicle” (because it’s not a SMB “RV”) so the plates may be a little more expensive.
WAY worth it to me!

If you go here, you can cmopare the specs for the vans you are considering:

The frames are the same between the E250 and E350RB. But E250 springs are softer, and it may have a lower rated axle. Unfortunately, even Ford's own publications fail to account for all body configurations. Some vans listed with a semi-float rear axle may axle come with a Full-Float (Most EB passenger vans will actually have a 7800# full float axle for example). So.... when shopping it pays to peak underneath to see which axle it really has.

Campervan,
have you already found a van yet?
What area are you in?
The shop van here is for sale and is in the process of finnishing up the UJoint kit on it.
It's a 2005 E350 SuperDuty 6.0l turbo diesel that just had a bunch of preventive measures down and new parts replaced.
bigger tires already installed, Aluminess ladder, fender flairs,roof rack system,window tint,and new Kenwood navigational DVD stereo installed.
just an option.
let me know
John
