I was reading on a site that the D50 TTB was the right width, I'm really lookin for it to bolt in the location of the beams, then hit the coils in the factory located bucket, I'm expecting the radius arms to require a swap from a 70's 4x4 truck design. Due to it being a daily driver and my only vehicle, I can't play lets see if it fits, I'd love to have a regular wheelbase van for a daily driver and put this one on some stands to work it out.

It's not cheaper, I have a wheelchair lift, a solid axle requires work to strengthen the engine cradle after you trim all the hanging mounts that the I-beams bolted to in order to clear the solid axle from contact without requiring added lift. Look I know this due to the many friends trashing the TTB for solid axles in their trail rigs, I don't want my van lifted high in the air, makes entry an issue with a wheelchair lift.

Now, if money were no object and I could afford a regular daily driver van, I'd put that kit in my current van, have the floor dropped and change out my wheelchair lift to one that'll go a little lower than my current one, 4" would be OK with 35's. I've done a lot of wheelin in my past, had a Suburban with 6" lift on 35's, that is more than enough, I was trail climbing a mountain in east TN, some steep stuff, only drug once.
