Unfortunately not that I could find. I was also told that when you jack it up to do it per axle, otherwise you can blow out one of the air springs.
In reply to Rusted_Busted_Spit:
Fun fact! The R350 and R500 have two heights, regular and monster truck, which is 2 inches higher, for running Dakar and what not. The R63 monster truck mode is only 1.7 inches higher, but, when you turn it off in regular mode, it auto lowers .87 inches. It pretty much hard parks itself. That makes me happy.

For now.
The rear camber is a bit much, but that's because it's on air and is dropped all the way down at the moment. But the big thing to notice is it has a 1035hp turbo J35 with a 6-speed. God bless Bisimoto.

Last Hi Jack. I may or may not have raised our R to go over a curb to circumvent a construction area instead of turning around.

I never understood why the Nissan Quest didn't get more attention for that kind of stuff. They are essentially Nissan Maxima's which are good modable (is that a word?) cars...
1st gen:
2nd gen:
Those were the lightest big minivans you could get at the time.
It's really hard to find any photos of modified '04+ Nissan Quest vans (the second version above.)
I wouldn't call the 04+ light at over 4k# but it is the longest wheelbase.

This is what you need.
In reply to Fueled by Caffeine:
the 2nd gen nissan quest also had a cool moonroof option
...and optional Terra cotta colored leather interior.
What do you guys think of the gen 2 Sedona. They are cheap and look pretty good. Is the 5 speed auto reasonably durable? It has the lambda v6 so that is a pretty know quantity.
Opinions of them around here are generally positive. They're underappreciated.

There is one of these at the local used car dealer 15 minutes from my house. Exact same color too.

My neighbor has one, also in the same color. Although it is pretty cool, I get a little nervous when I see his two little girls in that thing. There's no way in hell that would survive a crash with anything bigger than a moped.

You'd be surprised how well they actually fare in accidents. There are threads on the Delica forum that show some pretty good whacks and the vans survived pretty well. They are more ruggedly built than they look. All that being said I don't want to test it out. My US-spec one had a much larger front bumper, and man that thing was rugged looking behind the skin. I bet you could hang a plow on that sucker.
That's a great photo of your Delica.

I know the guy that built this Odyssey. He blew up his turbocharged NSX and decided to finish the TT season with the minivan. IIRC, he made no power mods. He just gutted the interior and threw some slicks on 18x9 enkeis.
Based on how my 87 Montero is built i doubt the Delica is flimsy, but where you are within it could be a problem.

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it, but it was a friend that did an article on my Deli. It was a fun day, and I miss the beach trips even though I'm not much of a beach person. Spring isn't too far away though.
Given that big isn't big enough when you're talking about the family hauler, I took a look at these after I saw a family roll up to the pool in one last summer. Surprisingly cheap, and presumably they'd hold up pretty well. Might be a bit much around town and in parking lots, but definitely worth a look.
