I know this is a couple years old and hopefully you still look at the comments, but does your friend with the unicorn astro have a channel? I have an 03 safari cargo with those options

[@AstroVanTribe]

no....

[@rogeriorodriguez1212]

Ask for Mike he has a ball joint spacer that will give your front end another 2 inch lift

[@AstroVanTribe]

don't need it - already done and dialed in

Hi mike , did u buy the leaf springs new or used? If used did u use the same year of your van?

[@AstroVanTribe]

used - they came of a '98 s10 - I had new bushings pressed into them, as well

[@Prostyletruck]

@@AstroVanTribe my astro is a 2004 also , In the video u said there was a lot of squeaking coming from the springs , was that the bushings u replaced?

[@AstroVanTribe]

@@Prostyletruck I don't know, I found greasable shackle bolts which seemed to have helped

[@Prostyletruck]

@@AstroVanTribe ok kool, I definitely need heavy duty springs not sure if they save them in da junk yards in my town , by the way 2004 is a great for Astros I’ll never sell my van

[@Prostyletruck]

@@AstroVanTribe was thinking about just adding a leaf from journeys

[@nathanmace3936]

Have you seen the new Journey's skid plate! I am getting that fer sher. #astrovantribe And where's merch? (Kinda like the old Hardee's comercial) two little old ladies. Use your internet. Hilarious!

[@AstroVanTribe]

Received a version of the sticker art today - Also spoke with my pal who I'm designing up Astro parts with today - It's all in the works, stay tuned

[@MyIronman8]

There is a company for which state it is they're actually buy those and they turned them into offroad vehicle that dead zone everything I forgot words it's on KZbin but they buy those

[@tradmanmike3360]

YOUR MY MECHANICAL GO TO BUDDY MIKE! I'M LEARNING FROM YOU! MY PLAN IS TO PUT 2.5 BODY LIFT IN FRONT. THEN DO THE HIGH END AIRBAGS LIKE YOU DID AND BEILSIEN SHOCKS ALL AROUND. I'M RUNNING TO DES MOINES TOMARROW FOR O2 AWD 157K MILES LEATHER SEATS, GREAT SHAPE UNDER 3K$. GOING FOR IT!!!

[@AstroVanTribe]

Well, I'm no mechanic, I'm just mechanically inclined - I can figure things and and see how to make them better is all... Not everyone would need airbags after the s10 spring upgrade, I used them because I load the van with tools which can make the van sit unevenly a bit so I use them to level out the van and keep it sitting "level" front to back as well (lift any rear end sag out of it)

[@ThisIsSolution]

Anybody heard of doing s10 springs on a RWD astro 2004??

[@AstroVanTribe]

I don't see why not - You just have to figure out how to get the front end up to match it

[@ThisIsSolution]

@@AstroVanTribe well they just got shipped today, installing on the 23rd I'll let you know how it goes,

[@offroadastroothervans.4685]
