Awesome, I forgot all about that thread but I really liked it when I looked at it before.You can see my thread on my class C ford Van, it's mostly the same except for the fuel tank.
Class C 4x4 Converstion
I am starting to document this here, mainly to make sure I remember everything and see if others have some good ideas too as these is not much DIY 4x4 motorhome conversions out there it seems. Starting off with a 2017 (Based off 2016) Four Winds 28z, Ford E450. Plan is to run 295/70/R17 up...irate4x4.com
Unfortunately it is 5.4/4r70w. I am talking to a tuner about swapping in a 6r80 with a standalone and tuning the trans stuff out of the pcm but i may just swap in a 4wd 4r70w with a manual transfer case.I think the sop for a while was to cut the fuel tank, shorten it and weld it back together, even the plastic ones
What engine tranny and t case? Some 2wd 5r110s take a tcase

As cool as that would be, if you're traveling and such, I'd probably go with the drop in 4wd 4r70w to K.I.S.S.
Either way, I'll be following
BTW, when you get to that point, I spent 8 plus hours building a functional shifter box with a nice trim piece for my 4wd express van, I should have just bought the jb cable shifter to begin with
Going from 3.73s to 4.10s or 4.30s will help too. I wish it was a V10/5r110 but it was almost impossible to find any high top/extended that didn’t have rust holes in the east coast so I took what I could get. I just can’t tow heavy.
It’s cut down to make room for a transfer case.Saw this posted the other day, didn't really know whats different about a quigley tank.

I have heard that the c&c van rear mount tank will work. I am also going to measure the 44 gallon tank in a friend’s excursion.
