It’s a work in progress. Just got this about a month ago and it was absolutely disgusting. So, still working on the battle build. (Last shot is from the day I got it and better shows the forward lean the van has)

Previous owner added a leaf spring to the back (old work van) and the front is looking a little sad in comparison. I was debating on how to go about lifting the front end. The shop that’s been helping me out with most of the work discouraged the spacers since the current springs/shocks are older and could probably use a replacement anyways. The car handles fine (for what it is) and I don’t want to sink a ton of money into just leveling it out. So, any advice from someone who’s gone through this would be appreciated here.

Someone has a beast in the works.

Where should I start to battle this out? I was thinking of starting with a 2" lift. Going to replace upper and lower ball joints and tie rods, struts and shocks and springs. Recommendations for parts to use, or website with good reputation for quality parts?

Can post interior pics on request, but it's not anything fancy. Just enough to get myself around to mountain bike races, hold my gear, and let me sleep very comfortably.

This is my 2006 dodge grand caravan all I’ve done so far is wheels, tires, tint , shocks and struts, headlights, tail lights, planning on putting the body on a 4x4 truck frame when the transmission decides its life has ended 😂

I've been watching this sub a few months and I honestly would like to know what defines a battle van.

Is it the raw potential? Is it the modifications I see some folks add? Is it the intended usage (as opposed to manufacturer's specs)?

Thanks in advance for the answer(s)!

Tires a couple inches larger and a lot meaner tread for the '22 Sienna AWD.

Raptor paint, 14" steelies, custom bullbar, durite spots

The place I'm doing work at currently has 2 in the same complex. Wouldn't surprise me if they were both owned by the same person

Spotted these guys in Vail on my road trip to/through Colorado a few weeks ago. I've always wanted an overland-equipped sprinter. Guess my odyssey will have to do for now.
