Alaskan, Hope your son heals and recovers soon.

I wish I had come across this thread a year ago. This kit looks like just the ticket to solve the sagging rear end problem we experienced with our 1998 B190. We had a great time in that van (sold it recently) and a few inches of added clearance at the rear would have been welcomed.

Thanks to Alaskan for putting this kit together and providing it to B190 owners at such a reasonable price.

Alaskan,
Do you have any rear block kits available? Looking to purchase a set for my 1997 B190.
Thank you.

Or:
Either HUSKY SPRING UA203R or UA207R
with

Which option would you prefer?
