E-350 lift kit
I'm looking to raise the rear height on my 2003 V-10 E-350SD about 2". I can't find a block and u-bolt kit on any of the sites online or at local pepboys etc. Is my only choice to have a suspension shop add leafs. I hate to go that route because the truck takes weight great, I'd just like the look of a raised rear. Any thoughts on this would be great.

I'd like an answer also, I have a 2004 I'd like to raise 2" in the rear. I am waiting on a set of Gabriel Hi-Jackers air shocks, that should give me over an inch of extra height. I used them on my '95 GMC 3/4 ton van and they worked great.

I would go with rear air bag suspension instead of the air shocks. work the same, longer life, better ride. suspension of the future! race cars, off roaders and diesel trucks are all converting to them. I added mine about 2yrs ago. best suspension mod I ever made! total cost 150 bucks and 3hrs of install time. check out my gallery pics.

Bad idea, shock mounts are not designed to support the weight a van might see on an axle. They are usually barely more then 12 gauge metal.
If your van has a Sterling axle, is there any reason why you can't use a truck lift kit?
