I put the 1.5" go Westy kit on mine and now running 215/75/15 bfg all terrains. Doing the rear is easy, the front was a pain! Have yet to do shocks, but is needed. I heard using BURLY? Upper control arms is best for geometry, I'm using the ball joint spacers provided. I can now slide all the way thru under my van now.
