yea i have seen it but they make no sense on there pricing for them why buy from them when i can build my own lift for a 1/4 of the price all they are is 2 inch body lift blocks up front and shackles in the back and they charge $180 for it or a 4 inch lift is the same as the 2 inch but they give you torsion keys and a add a leaf and charge you over $400

Ditto, an astro is basically an s10, anything that will lift an s10 will work on your van. Good choice on the tires, we have the same on our bravada and they have been great in mud and snow, only issue I am having with them is they are loud as hell now we are about half tread with almost 30k on them. Also they will cup easy on the awd so you really need to rotate them every 5k if you don't then plan on having cupped tires withing 10-15k just warning you.
heres a pic of 35s on my van project. its not finished yet.
got my windows tinted today two fronts and a strip in the front window
COOL TINT! I wish my van was all wheel drive!
now for sale $1900 obo
Nice price for a nice van
