My new to me 91 Quigley

[New River KTM]

I agree with Chris you need to be very careful when lifting the Quigley. I have a Quadravan (with coils)and spent considerable time searching and recalculating geometry to raise my van approx. 2". I used Superlift springs, track bar adjustments and other tweaks to keep the ride the same but just get a mild lift.

One serious hell of a deal. Nice rig. I know Quigs and Pathys are very different in their front end suspension treatment, but from the look of your pictures, your stock ride height is about what my Pathfinder conversion is. I was able to cram a 34" tall tire under mine with just a little trimming on the back lower section of each rear fender. No rubbing lock to lock under "full articulation" (there is no such thing as "Articulation" in my van....). Just a spacer under your leaf spring (is it a leaf spring?) or coil should be enough for a 35" tire. I will tell you going from a 235-85-16 to a 285-75-16 tire knocked 2MPG off my rig...plan on that as you consider the fuel burn to cool ratio.

Man. $1400. Deal of the century.

What a deal! I have a 1990 E350...same drivetrain.....I had 3.55 gears with 33 inch tires....replaced Dana 44 with a Danna 60 (just because... D44 worked fine!)....changed gears to 4.10 and they work much better and I don't see much mileage difference...I think it was lugging too much with 3.55's.....about 12 years ago put a banks turbo on it ....makes a big diifference...

I trimmed back of front fenders (bottom 10-12inches) about 2 inches to clear 35's.

I would try to put a turbo that spools up at lower RPM if you could.....mine comes on under load best at about 2600 rpm..

Have fun with it! Still watching your build Spence!.
