I have been looking at lowering my van for the longest time and I want to keep my carrying capacity and some of my suspension travel. Those requirements necessitate either an AWD axle swap or lowering plates. Due to the rarity of the AWD vans in my area I have none to scavenge for parts; plus I disliked the drum only. The bolt pattern change wasn't a deal breaker but still made the swap more expensive. This pretty much leaves me with the option of lowering plates. I also happen to have a set of spirit R/T vented 11in rotors that I could use in this swap. The problem I have is lack of access to materials and equipment. That is why I am making this post, I hope to gauge the interest in this then from there find someone with the equipment to make them.
My idea of a good version would be 3-4" of lowering built in to match using car struts up front, and the ability to bolt on any car rear brake package. I think 3/4 to 1" thick aluminum bar stock would make a good material for them.
I know a few members here have made some for their selves, Im still looking for the pictures of them.
