I want to increase the height of the rear of my 1996 Aerostar.

Hi all, I'm new to the forums, but have been creeping on it for a while. I have a 96 e4wd converted to switchable full time 4wd, my question is are there any swappable rear ends. I can't find a way to put leaf springs on the current one, and can't think of a way to lift the current three link set up

There is a video on youtube of an aerostar thats lifted with leaf springs in the rear. I think this is the same van that the owner put an np435 behind the 4.0L. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQE_OgUmQtA

Welcome to this forum! Gabriel makes Hi-Jacker rear air shocks which are adjustable. You could pump them up for extra height. Some company sells air bags which go into the rear to add extra height. You could also add extension spacers under the cargo coils.

Thanks guys, I recently found out that aero coils fit on jeep tj's, so I think I'm gonna try to stuff some rough country 2.5" tj coils underneath. If they don't fit then I'll have to find a way to mount the leaf springs
