Hey Snoop can you give us some more details on your swaybar setup please? How has it changed your van's ride?

Too late for the OP's question since he's already ordered the shocks but I run Bilsteins with the GW-HR 2WD drive springs and love the combination. The suspension upgrade along with a 16" wheel upgrade has greatly improved my van's offroad performance which was my goal. I noticed that there is some topping out if I take bumps a bit too fast so I'm glad I picked the shocks with the most travel.

Street handling is much better as well so I'm very pleased.

Addco front and rears. Motivated to install primarily by interest in reducing effects of higher moment arm wrt tipping attendant with lift springs. Very pleased with outcome...(lifted) Porsche-like handling on road while retaining ~5+" of articulation for off road travel...slow travel however. Very positively impressed in summary.
