    I drove my second van build for a year stock height while I saved for a lift kit. I hated it. Besides driving high all the time my experience with the 2 styles of 5 inch lift kits is it rides nicer then stock.

      My first van build was lifted in 2011 by Action Van. $2800 installed! They cost $3500 installed now and Weldtec is up to $5200 installed.
      Camburg doesn't sell their bent beam kit anymore looks like they are getting out of the Econoline Lift game
      You're one of the OGs rolling in a lifted van! This hobby has gotten big in the last 2 years. Here's some of me and my buddies hitting trails

      The next Van Meet will be October 7,8 and 9. It;s going to be a Desert Adventure in Slab City, Salton Sea and the main Event is off roading at Anza Borrego.
      I have 20 people interested and 10 confirmed will make it. I will try a meet towards Washington/Oregon Next and if it's a success I will try to do something Where East Coast and West Coast guys have a Equal amount of distance to cover.
      I have 1 guy from Florida Interested and his drive would be 2000+ miles.
      I want to find a cool spot where it's about 1000 miles for most. This channel has lifted van fanatics hanging out in the comment section! Here's the last Van meet. It's a lot of fun.
      Keep me updated on your van progress!

      The guy that runs Action Van/Full Tilt off road is a really cool guy. Really knowledgeable and wont try to make you buy things you don't need. I wish he had a youtube channel but he's old school.
      10 years ago the AV kit was $1900 and now it's 2089 and they still charge only $1100 for install. Went up in price a little. The Bent beam kit when I bought in 2021 it was $2700 parts only and $1500 install. It's up to $3200 now parts only. Camburg went up in price too.
      Camburg also sells a dropdown bracket kit that doesn't require welding but they want a lot for it. They are more into their race trucks then the van stuff these days. I think they are in Hunington Beach

      Action Van is the best deal for 5 inch lifts imo

      I hear that man. My brother in laws brother has a brand new Nissan Frontier. 5 inch lift $1200! I recommend Action Van Suspension for the full 5 inch lift on these vans. It's just a small aftermarket for these. It's basically Action Van and Weldtec left lifting these Vans 5 inches. Camburg isn't making lift kits anymore.

      Action Van Suspension. $2089 for their base kit. If you can make the Trip to San Clemente CA It's $3500 installed. Weldtecs lift is $3200 for parts and if you go to them the Install price will be $5200. Action Van is every bit as good as Weldtec, they just don't have the online hype. Here's a video of me and my friends with a Combination of Action Van and Weldtec Lifts going on the same trails. Let me know how your build goes! You'll get more then a 4 inch lift too.
