Lowrider anyone?
I've been toying with the idea of turning my '93 shorty into a wicked lowrider. I've seen it before and Aerostars look awesome lowered. How can this be done? You'll laugh but those little Dayton wire wheels sticking out look great on Aerostars too! But what do you do about the gearing then? That's like riding around in 3rd gear.
And plenty of room for subwoofers too

Why would you want to do that to your Aero?!?
Just think of how much pain it will be forced to endure going over speed bumps!
But then, maybe I'm biased. I never particularly cared for lowriders. I can say that the Aero was the first vehicle I had that I could take any pothole, curb, or muddy & potholed road without missing a beat, 2WD or not. I understand that the AWD versions are even better when it comes to ground clearance.
The great ground clearance is one of the many advantages of our Aeros, and one that I wouldn't be in such a hurry to lose.

Lowriders have terrible ride quality. The increased ground clearance gives a smoother ride, and is also easier on the shocks, bushings, and exhuast components. If you lower it, something will break. Now if you want a stiffer ride that feels sportier, your money is better spent on a reay anti-sway bar. this will reduce the lean in corners, and make it have a better overall ride.
