Towing with a Van?

If you are puting tires on put 12ply on rear and and 2" wheel spacers (H&R makes a very high quality steel spacer that uses stock lug nuts) this will get the rear treadm with close to the from in production close to 5" narrower than front.

QUOTE=Joe Greek;115685]You would need radial 10 ply tires on the rear (range E), a Reese type torsion bar & sway control.
For suspension, you should put in air bags with 30 lbs. air for stabilization. You should be able to go and
not have any problems. I've towed this way for 14 years without a problem. My van was a '85 Chevy
Diesel (3/4 ton) with a stick shift.
