I Need Help Beefing Up the Rear End of My 1998 3500 Van for Trailing
I have a 98 3500 van extra long. When I see other vans and including mine, they all have a sag look to them.
I want to be able to hit the trails with my van too. Are there any suggestions for what type of equipment?
Thank you so much!

Replace your rear springs, and maybe add some airbags of you tow heavy stuff regularly. Maybe a weight distributing hitch?

Yeah, you have a case of the mid-life sag. You probably need new coils up front too.

I was looking at this kit.
My buddy suggested putting a distributing hitch on for my trailer.
Any suggestions for front coils?

That looks good for the rear, the company has a good name.
For the front, just go with stock replacements. They don't do a whole lotta work for towing, and the stockers should work out just fine.
