Eurovan Suspension & Lift Kit

This kit increases your Eurovan’s ground clearance by 2–3 inches through a straightforward suspension lift and leveling process. Naturally, this raises the vehicle’s center of gravity—but we've got that covered.

To maintain stability and enhance handling, the kit includes upgraded shock absorbers and wider alloy wheels. The result? A smoother, more capable ride than the factory setup, and far better access to roads that are less than perfectly paved.

Whether you're heading off the beaten path or want a more commanding presence on the road, this kit delivers.

This kit includes the following:
• (4) Bilstein Extra Heavy Duty Shock Absorbers or Deluxe Fox Shocks
• (4 or 5) 17" x 7.5" GoWesty OEM Replica Alloy Wheels (we recommend 235/55-17 tires)
• (1, 2, or 3) Rear Coil Spring Spacer Pads (Model specific)
• (4) Wheel Centering Rings
• (2) Wheel Stud & Nut Kit

Disclaimer: Bilstein XHD shocks are not designed for prolonged off-road use, especially washboard-type roads. Due to their internal valving, they can and will overheat due to extended periods of off-highway travel. Like any shock Bilstein manufactures, overheating is not covered under the lifetime warranty.

Torsion Bar Adjustment & Wheel Alignment: Simply installing these parts is not all that is required. The front suspension height will need to be adjusted, and a 4-wheel alignment performed. That requires special tools and a shop with Eurovan experience. We also recommend purchasing our Torsion Bar Bolt Kit.

Constant Velocity Joints: As the CV joints wear out, a wear pattern is created between the CV balls, inner, and outer races. Lifting your vehicle means the drive axles will now be riding at a different angle. Depending on how worn-out your axles are, this may cause a new vibration under load. The two remedies are to either replace the axles with a fresh set or at least rotate the CV joints so they are loaded in the opposite direction, where there is little to no wear pattern to cause vibration. If your vehicle has identical axle lengths on left and right sides (not all models do), you can simply swap the axles left to right, and the CVs will be loaded in the opposite direction. If the axles are not the same, the CV joints will have to be removed from the axles and moved to the opposite axle to achieve the same result. This is a good practice regardless of lifting, as it will extend the life of your CV joints.

Oversize Tires: We recommend 235/55-17 tires for these wheels. These 17” tires are slightly larger than the original factory 16” spare tire in 2001-03 year models, but will still fit in the spare compartment. However, they are considerably larger than the 15” tire fitted to 1993-00 Eurovans, and will not fit in your spare tire location without our Oversize Spare Tire Kit.

It is perfectly fine to use your factory original spare of any size in the event of a tire failure. Driving with one different size tire will not harm anything. If you have a long way to go, and your flat was a front—it is worth the extra time to move one of the rear, full-size wheels up front so the two fronts match—this will make for a more pleasant (no pulling to one side), and safer drive.

Additionally, the larger circumference tire will cause your speedometer to read slightly slower. Check out our tech article, EV Lift Kit: Will This Affect My Odometer/Speedometer?

Bumper Clearance: Some Eurovans have slightly warped rear bumpers (fenders)—in very rare cases, the 235/55-17 tire/fender clearance will be extremely tight, and some slight trimming of those plastic fenders is required.

Reference numbers can be OE part numbers, superseded part numbers, and compatible part numbers. We provide this information to help ensure you're getting the right part for your needs.
