Please feel free to contact someone else if you want any info on this or other Pacifica things… I’m not going to participate in a forum that encourages users who contribute nothing but criticism. Good luck to you all. Canadahybridguy will certainly have your answer I’m sure.
Jor lift installed, painted calipers, and installed black lug nuts….
Ok, probably time to be done tweaking the wife’s rig, but now it’s about as setup as I can get it for the most versatile Swiss Army knife of vehicles. I drive a ram 1500, but the van can tow more kids and cargo and it’s not half bad looking either. Pretty happy with the outcome.

It's eerie how similar it sounds your situation is to my own. We are at a stalemate right now and I told her I'll remove it as soon as I have time. She has since agreed she likes it "higher" just not this high. So yeah, we will see what happens in time. I'd likely have increased the tire size had I known there would be this much wheel gap, but it still rides and functions great and what she can't understand is that would just make it "higher" just a little less "gap."
Anyways, the part of doing the work myself and even being able to undo it for ~$250 in two alignments and whatever I'd sell the lift at a loss for is much more rewarding than having paid to have it done and just being a troll online. Arm chair quarterbacking just isn't for me. I know why and what I've done and it means something that even if it's just you I helped or inspired. I'd gladly give insight in any way and if you choose to pull the trigger just PM me and I'll be a phone a friend 100% even if they run me off the forum. Your kind words hit at a perfect time to see how this percolates for a few weeks... my wife is mostly a cool one, so maybe she'll come around
The kit lives on and the new owner is doing it right with 18’s and the larger tires like jor used. Driving changed zero imo vs stock and I don’t drive it like a van. No odd tools really, just a little tricky having the van on jack stands and having to raise and lower the control arms and what not to get the springs up and down, but I’d say 3-4 hours the first time start to finish.
This is sad. I loved your build! I wish you kept it / and hope I can do the same. I need a Pacifica first to do so
Also you said it drove/rode great. How much did you push it? Any differences you could describe? I love the ride of the FWD T&C/Pacifica I had as a rental...and wouldn't want to change it too negatively. But I am looking to make this van to be as "capable offroad" in a very mountainous snowy area.
How long did the lift install take you? Any oddball tools that wouldn't be in a normal person's kit? Thanks so much in advance!
