Let the tires down or throw a couple of rolls of carpet in the back. This has been covered extensively in previous posts and the back is relatively simple. The front is very problematic. Try the search function.

If you want it done properly go down to pedders and talk to them about it. They did the van for us but the back is reset leaves and new shocks and bushes but the front they got springs custom made because the front ends don't like being lowered too much, they won't function right and you will just keep hitting you bumpstops. Have a look in my gallery and see the ride Hightower of the van and that's pretty much the lowest I would go with out sacrificing the ride. Good luck with it all

i recon the easiest way would be to take the springs out and fit them inside your seat bases:)

Lol thanx bas, there you go that's the look we got without sacrificing ride. Some say it's too low for a beddy, I think not enough but it does ride sweet at this hight

i always recon the best way is to make a kit to make it look lower you lose nothing that way and to set the rake smaller wheels on the front 235/60R14 and on rear any size you like as long as its taller
