Maybe this will work? These parts and the control arms of a truck I think may just give me the desired lift but I'll probably have to go with 31's instead of 33's... Ok now other than placing parts side by side to see if they match how can I find a compatible vehicle? Is there a manual listing all interchangable parts for dodge 1 tons? I'm kinda hoping someone can just tell me what model truck has the exact same parts my van does, it would help a lot! If you have the light duty front end, forget looking at 1 ton trucks. You have a 3/4 ton front end, basically a half ton front with bigger brakes. When looking for parts, you need stuff for NOT 4000 pound axle. Real 1 ton stuff is a whole different thing, other than the idler arms and drag link, I don't think anything else interchanges. Not even shocks. Huh... Idk why I thought my van was a 1 ton ... The front axle is rated at 3070lbs and the gvwr is 7000lbs... Definitely not 1ton...

It can't be that difficult to convert my van into a 4x4... What exactly do I need? I'd need a transfer case, drive axles, mounting brackets new this new that...$$$

The front tires are 265/65/r17 and the rear 285/70/r17. There is more than enough clearance around ALL of the tires and I couldn't be happier... Well, I could but you know what I mean... I think one size bigger in either front or back would cause issues but apparently I picked out the perfect size tires!
