GV springs on the front end, the ford van springs on the rear. 92-02 Ford Econoline E150 van.

You will probably want to pick up a 1.5" strut spacer to go with it though.

How much have you cut out your wheel well's to get the 33's to set in there w/o a lift? Lets see some before/after photo's with your spring lift.

if you read what it says in the writeup of the budget lift it says use ford econoline SPRINGS, then the next sentance it says use the shocks cause they are identical mounts and are 2" longer.
well. is it springs or shocks (shocks make sence because they have identical mounts and ARE 2" longer, same as crown vic shocks)
i used GV coils all around on my 2dr and still need 2" of lift on the rear to make it match. i may check out some econoline springs though... but i guess they will be too stiff as they are made for the front of a 1/2 ton or heavier van. because the rears are leaf sprung.
I GOT MY GV COILS FROM A 2005 GV
