If you buy something like a Hellwig rear bar their selection menu will guide you to the correct part. My guess is you'd be using the E250---consult with the manufacturer first to double check.

BTW the E250 GVWR at least according to my door sticker is 8,600# without consideration to body, whether standard or extended length.

I'd agree with JWA--in 2007 the E150 became an E250 and likely shares more parts with the 250.

I would not trust all catalogs to have caught this change. It was even vague in Ford literature and spec sheets for a while, as I recall.

In 2008, the E vans got the new front end styling, and most people equate that with the change in E150 specs. So when seeking parts for your van, prepare to do a little "reading betwen the lines" in the event of discrepancies in parts listings.

Good luck,
George
