What is the purpose of the 3 inch lift... are you wanting bigger wheels and tires ?

Just a thought cause I am gonna order my Running boards but with that 3 inch lift and the tire size.... that is a Big first step to get into the van.
Looks like your van has ground effect package.... im not sure but can you add running boards with those on the van ?
I know its tough for my wife of 5ft 4 to get in....
I couldnt imagine another 3 inches with out some type of assistance ( step board ) ( running board ).

Clearly, you are not a member of the Barefoot Nation. And yes, it already is a climb up into the van. I think my running boards were probably the best thing I did to Le Moose. By spring, I'll be adding some ground lighting LEDs underneath them. I have white ones that will be wired to the doors, and some RGB to add some color, that will be manually controlled.

983- Are those vents on the fender functional, or are they just there to look cool(which they do splendidly)?

STAN...
What I have noticed with all conversion vans they have them... kinda like a signature....
They are offered to buy seperatly.... but its a cool factor more than anything.

Well, if they do allow air to flow through, it might help. One thing I've noticed with Torque is that mine runs a tad hot (203-204). But it also might be cool to put some LEDs behind it for added color.

Default Side Fender Vents

STAN
here is a link to the vents and they might be functional...
a call to the manufacture may be in need for the answer.

No need to call. If I didn't want to spring for $5 to get Torque Pro, I'm certainly not spending $300 on those.

Unless I win the lottery. Then, all bets are off.
