Ok getting 2" lift is easy I would like to get maybe 1" lift
On the van is that possible? Would love to hear from the pros point of views
Thanks Rick.

1" just crank up the torsion bars a little and either blocks or shackles in the back....1" no problem

Falco has a post somewhere about re-arcing the rear leaf springs an inch and adjusting the front torsion bars to match.

Personally I would add a leaf, or blocks (perfectly fine in the back axle for 1"), or air bags, or shackles
Airbags are my favorite (on the list for my van (actually on the work bench)
before I would re-arch (most re-arch springs have settled back down pretty fast)

It will depend on what you have right now
Subframe spacers
Balljoint spacer
Rear shackle/leak pack
Single or double cardon joint on driveshaft
Blocks under leaf packs with degree shims
Transfer case spacer
Need the measurements of these to help you out
Going past 2" requires a lot of mods and puts additional stress on the front end suspension
Felix went through this recently while driving through the US.
