WeldTec Designs 6" Ford E-Series suspension specs "twin i beam 2 wheel drive"
There have been a lot of questions about our 4" and 6" bent beam kits. I am going to attempt to answer any and all questions regarding these kits. We will be posting more on the install process soon for all you that don't have the option of having us install or would like to do it yourself.
In this build we started with a 2008 Ford E-250 standard length passenger van. To start we took a couple measurements at the front and back wheel well opening. From the ground to the bottom of the front wheel well. Here is what it measured: 35" front and in the rear 34", this is with a 225x75x16 wheel and tire.

After the install of the Kit, which includes:
6" Bent I-Beams
Custom fabricated extended radius arms and brackets (powder Coated Black)
Coils
Bilstein shocks front
2" rear blocks
Bilstein shocks rear
The 6" stage 2 kit does require you to weld on the new pivot brackets for the extended radius arms. Once the WTD stage 2 is installed we took another measurement with the stock tire and wheel. Now we have 38 3/4 front and 36" in the rear. As you can see the 6" lift does not truly give a 6" lift though it is a considered a 6" lift coil.
This build we went with a 285/70/17 Nitto Terrra Grappler g2 tire mounted 17 X 8 Method wheel with 4.5" back spacing. With this wheel and tire option there is "NO" wheel rub on the Radius arms and full turn. However it did require a little trimming on the lower part of the plastic front valance to clear the tires when turning.
Once again we measured the van in the shop on flat ground. Now we have 41" front and 38 1/4" in the rear. You do have the option to run a 3" block in the rear and in the near future we will be adding custom spring options to our kits.
This is just basic Specs on the Stage 2 kit. If you have questions please let us know and we will try help you out. We will be posting more pics and also a video on our youtube channel to help you out with the install if you purchase the kit along with tech support to make it as simple as possible.
Thanks
