Hey, that's our van! It's a 2010 Roadtrek 190P. 3500 Chevy Express chassis with 70K. We've owned it for two years and knew from minute one it had to go higher. This is an urban vehicle but it would bottom out on larger speed bumps and if you took a right had corner too sharp the lower trim would scrape. Not to mention holding tanks and plumbing are only an inch above the lower trim height. You'll notice in the video the front spoiler is gone. Didn't want to take any more chances. The measurements to the center of the fender wells was 33.5" front and 34.5" rear. After the lift and the 265 BFG tire change it measured 37.75" front and 38.75" rear. 11" to the trim below the side door. The van LOOKS awesome up 4" higher, not obnoxious, but not the lowrider it was. Drove it home 1800 miles from Weldtec. The rattle factor due to dishes, cabinets etc was reduced by 50% I would say. The alignment was way off so not really a fair comparison but it goes down the road straight and the amount of wandering is down to close to zero. The van was a sail in the wind before the lift and is about the same now even though it's 4+" higher. No better no worse. Speedometer is off by 2.5 mph at 70 and the gas mileage dropped from 16 down to 14.5. (taking the taller tires out of the equation) Overall super happy with the performance, looks and added clearance. Much less chance we take out one of storage compartments/trim.

PS: Let me know when you get rears springs for the 3" lift
@@jeffgirod1425 Hi Jeff, I'm doing that lilft on my Roadtrek 07 210 P. Did they had to do some trim, like on the body mount, to fit the bigger tire?
Can you share an estimate of total cost for this upgrade?
You and I are the only ones I know that drive our RV's like PreRunners .
Can you do a video onthe stealth 20in light bar (the one I just ordered)
I like my BGG on my 2013 E350 WarWagon but I want a brand new GMC with you 4x4 system on it and a 1” body lift!
We can build that for you! NO PROBLEM>........
Hi Jeremy, fantastic job again! I wonder with this kit and with the 265/75 R16 tire , did you have enough space or did you have trim the body mount ?
Who makes those spindles?
We do!!!
