Your video was the inspiration for me to go ahead and go for it , the detail shots of the lift kit helped to understand the lift kit and your sharing the positive results made it a go ! Thanks again for that and by your tag name and some of your other posts I assume you are or were serving , so let me separately say , thank you for that sir , peace and good health .

Like today today. 6th July 23 !

When you got out the ladder...! 😆 Nice rig, loving the wheels/tires.

Revisting this video because you got a van again! Dat View Count! I used parts of this video in my video about if you need a 4x4 Van or lifted van. I will use parts of this video again to talk about lift kit and pricing options for vans.

Subbed looking forward to more van videos. My tag line for the enthusiast van meet is if your friends and loved ones are tired of you talking about your van all day this is the meet to go too! I vote yes on Chrome lug nuts. Glad you didn't die man!

@@sergeantthomas3295 LOL and they would be like why couldn't this guy just make friends with people who talk about vans too much to. As a guy who built up my channel with van content I would like to make a suggestion. Title your video something along the lines of Lifted Econoline Ford Parts One lift Kit impressions Bigger Tires There are not many lift kits for Econolines I think for 2WDs there are only 4 and then U-Joint is the mega big bucks company that does 4x4 conversions.

@@sergeantthomas3295 There's a definitely a niche for lifted van content. If you search Action Van Suspension my videos will probably be in the top 5 of search results. Thats one of the catalysts that built up my channel. I joke around that I have a poor mans Quigley so I incorporate budget in my titles a lot when it pertains to my build. I don't have Aluminess anything on my build. I would go for Lifted Econoline Van FordPartsOne lift Kit how to fit bigger tires In your tags be sure to use fordpartsone and ford parts one econoline lift kit leveling level bigger tire 265 When I lifted my first van build 10 years ago Action Van Suspension was the only company I can find. Ford Parts One is pretty un represented on youtube so far so I have a feeling with a new title more people will find it since there are interests in these kits. If you can park your van next to a stock one so people can see the difference and film it A video like that can be titled Ford Parts One Econoline lift kit vs Stock side by side comparison When your channel blows up and you make it to a van meet you owe me lunch. I'm not picky I'm on a see food diet lol

I considered the fordpartsone kit but wound up spending a lot more on the action kit. No regrets but only cuz I was flush at the time. The fordpartsone kit is excellent for the cost (except the ridiculous lug nut fees and whatnot like you said). I just subbed from John Drives Anything. Looking forward to more videos!

@Cool Change: The fees are ridiculous just price it upfront no need for beating around the bush lol they even charge a small package fee or something like that just making it up as they go lol but so far so good the parts in the kit do seem like they are pretty good quality so as far as that goes I'm happy. I have also heard good things about the action kit seeing as you are adding to them they must be true. Preciate the sub! And I def have more Van Videos planned!

Greetings from Reno, Nevada.

Thank you for your video can you send me the size you tires and wheels I have E250 maybe fits the same size thank you

i wonder if the spring of a f250 work

I have an 05 e350 and I’m wondering if you have to have the 2 inch spacer on the front to run this exact size rim and tire set up. I’m not worried about minor rubbing at full lock I wouldn’t mind trimming if needed but want to know if it will work right and won’t look funky.

@Noah Gizzi: If I were you, from what you explained to me I would buy the wheels and tires put them on and see if I liked the look and if they rub. If you told me you were not willing to cut your van then I would say buy the spacers first, overall I would be ready to buy the spacers just in case because returning the wheels and tires and not having a van on sweet off road tires and nice wheels is just not an option! Lol let me know what you end up doing and how it turns out.

Thank you for the video! Working on my E350 now. Plan to get Vision Manx 17" X8.5 8-165.10 0 BKMTXX with "0" offset and put on them MICKEY THOMPSON BAJA BOSS A/T LT265 /70 R17 E1. Will that combination be good as for any potential rubs? Just need your or anyone point of veiw.. Thanks in advance!

Hell yeah this broke 1000 views without the YT Machine backing it. I'm telling you man there are people who want to lift their vans and there aren't many options so I knew putting Ford Parts One will work. I predict this video will be your racking up views forever video. Next time you talk about your van put FPO and Ford Parts One Leveling 2" inch lift. A lot of people are going with this kit now. Once it's about 6 months in talk about how your alignment is doing that's the big one with lifting our vans. The ALignment and tire wear. I emailed you back buddy.
