Converting 97 Dodge B2500 to 4x4

[GlennA]

I have a 97 2wd B2500 conversion van that I want to have converted to 4X4. I do not have the facilities, tools or skill to do this job. I am located in Columbia, Sc and am looking for recommended shops to do the job. I don't mind travelling to drop it off or shipping it if necessary. The main requirement, is that it be absolutely roadworthy after the conversion. I am retiring soon and want to be able to travel and explore this great country. Any assistance is appreciated.

Boulder Offroad is the only place I see that mentions converting Dodge vans. Most places do Ford, and a few do Chevys, but Dodge vans (not Sprinters) have been out of production for awhile, and therefore most shops wouldn't specialize in them.

Any conversion on a Dodge will be custom. For that reason, I would suggest selling the Dodge and buying a Ford and having http://www.ujointoffroad.com/ do the conversion or a shop they recommend do the conversion.

That is kind of what I had found in my research. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the recommendation! It will be difficult with the Dodge, and all custom like you said. Does it have a frame? If you get a Ford I'm right up the road in Asheville!
