Hello all! This website has been beyond helpful, and i really appreciate any input.
I am looking to buy an astro van to convert to a camper and live in full time for a little while. I've been looking for a little bit of time now. I am prioritizing off road capability. I am only looking at AWD models. I am finding quite a few lower mileage (but not too low) vans that are awd, but that opens up a lot of questions.
Is there specific models and years of the AWDs that i should be looking for? Or avoiding? I have realized there is a lot of different specifications regarding the gears, suspension components, and VIN numbers.
Also, if i buy an AWD astro with stock everything, and then throw a 3-5 inch lift on it with bigger off road wheels and tires, what am i going to have to change suspension wise? I want it to feel safe and ride well of course, as its essentially my home. That's my biggest question, but i think it ties into the specific VIN number astros.
Can i just buy an AWD astro, lift it, and then tighten up suspension components? What's the safest / best way to do this?
All input is greatly appreciated as you guys know your stuff haha! Thanks
