  • 😏😉🙂 Just have to put this out there - thank you for watching and the support
    Remember, I'm always talking about my 2004 AWD Astro Van that is no longer AWD, it's now a 4x4, so I may not be able to help you with your older Astro or Safari...
    Some good information on the Astro Van s10 leaf spring upgrade is discussed in this video as well as a great way to educate yourself

    I know this is a couple years old and hopefully you still look at the comments, but does your friend with the unicorn astro have a channel? I have an 03 safari cargo with those options

      Well, I'm no mechanic, I'm just mechanically inclined - I can figure things and and see how to make them better is all... Not everyone would need airbags after the s10 spring upgrade, I used them because I load the van with tools which can make the van sit unevenly a bit so I use them to level out the van and keep it sitting "level" front to back as well (lift any rear end sag out of it)

      I don't see why not - You just have to figure out how to get the front end up to match it
