    Yes over on that forum they do not like the e codes because they are a European standard lol. I really like the sharp cutoff they provide, I heard it all from them. The Osram 100w/90w bulbs are bright and exactly what I needed in the middle of night while out in isolation. We take this van...

    Yes, blue top was more responsive than redhead was when I called, so far it is great. I did similar. I bought the Hella e code H4, upgraded my headlight wiring harness using this guy, he made it longer to accommodate the van which now powers the lights straight from thd battery and not switch...

    Thanks, I will get 7272s then. I'm not sure how your steering box is, but I sent mine into blue top steering and it fixed the slop in my steering. I'm not too concerned about gas mileage and I can't hear my tires over the wind noise..... 😂. I appreciate all your help! Hope this all helps with...

    I am still debating the 7272 vs 7270. I drive about 1-2k miles on trips. I don't want anything jarring as the roads in some states are very bumpy with small bumps @75mph, but I want stability. Right now I have both in the cart. I do not see any sag in my van, but guessing after 33 years and 140k...

    Thank you! Are the moog made in the US? Did you ever do the leaf springs? Wondering which daytons I should buy on rock auto. There is a 2500lbs, 2300lbs, 1800lbs or 1750lbs. I was thinking maybe the 2300lbs leaf springs so they are not too stiff.

    1. Is your van a B250 or B350? I have a B250 so I was leaning towards 7270. 2. How did you know your springs were worn out? is there a set ride height? Or did you just measure each side and see it was uneven? 3. Do you travel on the highway at high speeds? How are the little bumps grooves? I...

    I think I have narrowed my list to my current XL tires and either the BF KO2 Load C or Toyo Open Country AT3 Load C. Load C are 6 Ply and may give me more stability. The load E I would be running at a lower pressure causing greater heat retention and lower load capability.

    Those are being done. I need to make sure my tires are safe as well. This is an area that every tire shop has no idea on, I have talked to about 15 people and they are just like the computer says......... I already have an appointment to install HD Leaf springs and Coil springs. I already...

    Thank you for the in depth look. At this point my tire choices will be listed below with links. If my van is 4000lbs empty, my conversion weight fully packed for a trip with all occupants should not exceed 6000lbs. I am guessing at the most I would be 1500lbs with everything. My bed frame is...

    I also would like to clarify the weight of my camper conversion including passenger weight will be around 1200-1500lbs minimum that will be riding in the van full time. I will also be adding shiplap wood to the ceiling and walls next year, and a vinyl plank floor as well. Thats more additional...

    If I replace my oil pan, should I do my pump while I have it off?

    Thank you very much for your help! So now I have a few things to consider moving forward. I think I am going to switch the tires to be on the safe side and just run them at a lower PSI. This will give my sidewall strength since I will be taking this van on dirt roads, to the Badlands in Dakota...

    I have done tie rods, ball joints, upper control arms, blue top steering, brakes, tires, lines etc. I wanted to replace some squeaky worn out bushings this year, replace my oil pan, and help with the crosswind issue. I am trying to figure out what will make the biggest improvement from this...

    They were some cheap Cooper passenger tires I never heard of before that were from Walmart. They were about 14 years old because I bought the van after it sat 8 years from the original owner who was 92. Update: just remembered the tires.... Cooper Starfire Solarus

    Its the sidewall rating and the mushiness of the tire. My concern is that when wind is 10+mph, its difficult to keep it in its lane. From what I was reading elsewhere, this is due to a soft sidewall. My suspension, shocks and steering box are all brand new and completely rebuilt. According to...

    Should I return my Cooper for these? I called Discount Tire and they recommended this tire if I wasnt comfortable with the Coopers. My placard is long gone after almost 34 years. https://www.prioritytire.com/nokian-rotiiva-at-lt-235-75r15-116-113s-e-10-ply-a-t-all-terrain-tire/
