I am in need of picking the front of my e350 up a bit, I stumbled across this adjustable coil spring spacer kit for an e350, anyone tried using this yet?
I was thinking 3 inch block in the rear and about 2" up front or 3" up front and a 4" block for the back, also has anyone seen a skid plate for the oil pan for the 7.3 powerstroke, my van being 2 wheel drive it hangs lower than anything else and is gonna get hit one of these days. youll find the econoline adjustable coil spacers down on the page a bit.

never seen these before. and I have done a bit of research on lifts for E350's. I have air bags on my rear suspension so I'm already 2-3" above the front. these might work nicely for my application....

 

With a lift, you're going to mess up the front end alignment and may need to either replace the I-beams or have them bent...unless the lift is simply raising you back to stock height from sagging springs.

You''re right on the money regarding the rear lift. My 2003 E-350 had slight rear sag just due to all the weight I added as a contractor. I wanted to raise the back to it's original height or slightly higher. The suspension shop said he wouldn't go any higher than 2" blocks. The truck seems to drive straight and I had no front end alignment done.

 

Go to the RV store & get front inside spring air bags. The air bags take minutes to install,lift the nose a few inches & make the van more stable in corners.

 

Downfall to air bags in the front coils is that you have to constantly monitor their pressure once you get them set up and an allignment because any change in air pressure changes your allignment. undetected it would tear up the front tires.... I would also worry that small rocks might get caught between the springs and the bags and cause damage to the bags over time. (I use my van in off road situations on trails). I might consider the spring spacer noted above with blistein shocks instead...

 

I have front and rear bags in both my vans; inside the coil spring on the front. I don't drive off road, except down a dirt road occassionally looking for solitude and privacy to camp. I just replaced the fronts on the '85 E-150 after about 10 years and they had ruptured due to 'wear and tear'. Air Lift replaced them with no questions asked for $15.00 shipping charge. I've very satisfied with Air Lift air bags. OBTW; I used spring spreaders on a small car to get clearance for larger tires and was never satisfied with them.

 

how about these:

I used supersprings for 1 3/4 lift its good but 265/75/16 just miss the fenders

 

The spacer type lifts on the bottom of the springs work great for these vans if you are looking for a 2" boost. I have a set of spacers sold for the 2wd F350 trucks and they work just fine. I swapped the radius arm to i-beam bolt to a Grade 8 8"x3/4-10 and used the stud extenders that came in the kit. The stud extender is necessary as they use the OD of the hex portion of the extender to guide the ID of the spacer to keep it aligned and true to the spring.
If you do this mod, you will need longer shocks as the stock ones will top out whenever you unweight the front end (speed bump or anything offroad). I have had this setup on my E350 for about 5000 miles and with the adjustable camber cams from Moog the alignment is great and the added height looks good as well.
