This is the 3rd Astro I' ve worked on but the first I want to bag. I just got 2" drop spindles and a flip kit with some nitro 2 drop shocks and even 2" drop coils. Then I decided to bag the beast. I' d like to know what options I have to getting a " complete" system...bags, tanks, etc. I don' t want to lose turning radius but I don' t really wanna lay frame. If it helps I' m runnin 17" rims, 45 series tires. I' d like to buy soon so any help is GREATLY appreciated

MAHALO!! \ooo/

Sorry. We have never done an Astro van, but I' m sure that a custom setup can be done. You will have to fabricate most of the brackets though.

I would think that I' d be able to use the AirOverLeaf setup for the rear, I' m not really looking to lay frame just to get up off the ground. I' m kind of stuck with what to do in the front. Would CoolRide be my best bet?

We can do a universal CoolRide kit up front. I' ve heard that the S-10 is similar, but haven' t confirmed it.

I' ve heard kinda the same thing too but I know the rear is different. I' ve got the one with mono composite leafs. What would be the ballpark amount for a total package? with pretty descent lift times

Okay Darren, Let' s see if I got this right.

I' ve been reading up on the site and I wanted to know if I came up with a correct solution to what I' m looking for.

Front setup: Shockwave v3.0 with 2" drop spindles
Rear setup: Shockwave 7000 in place of shocks with rear flip kit and no hangers
Management: ARC 4100e2

Kind of pricey but I hope this way is more " wrench & play"

BTW...site prices on the Shockwaves are per pair right? I hope [:-]

hilfiga,

Yes the prices on the web site are for a pair.

Most suspension components come in pairs......not much good only havin' the one side done right ? I' m having severe problems with my Blazer, lol.....sounds familiar.
