I grew up around ('78 and '87 Beauvilles, plus our former neighbors had an '85 Rallye STX) and learned to drive on one of those (the '87 Beauville) and they have a good amount of ground clearance, very compairable to unibody Jeeps like the XJ, MJ, KJ, ZJ, and WJ even with stock tires or 29" tall ones like 235/75/15's on all vehicles. Cammok's looks like it was sunk up to the front subframe and "frame rails" (a stamped subframe connector really) on the front passenger side. Dad figured what the van and quad got stuck in was powdery river sand. I'm still curious as to what you used to get the van out though Cammok. | |

Wow, I'm suprised that type of Ram was enough, no offence intended of course. Was it on a hard surface for the pull? Come to think of it, some kind of limited slip would be nice to have in that van, both of ours had them from the factory.

When that time comes around, get a decent set of 235/75/15's, they should bump the ride height about an inch over what ever it had stock and fill in those wheel openings better too.
