'88 e250, which shocks?
Hello,
I am looking at my options on shock replacements for my '88 e250. The van is used as a multipurpose vehicle. DD, tow vehicle, road trip, cargo hauler.
I am looking for something with a pleasant passenger ride that is tough enough for when I hook up a 6-9k pound trailer or load 3k pounds in the van. I am looking at the following:
1. Gabriel LTV
2. KYB Gas-a-just
3. Bilstein 4600
I also thought the Gabriel HiJackers looked interesting. They are made so you can add air to them to allow you haul heavy for a while, though it says it is only for temporary hauling use.
The Bilstein's have a good reputation but are also much higher priced. Thanks

i bought and installed Bilstein HD shocks on my E250 and Bilstein HD shocks on my Jetta.
I'll never go with anything else.
Here's the cheapest I could find for my van: eshocks.com: Shocks and Struts: E33, E200, E250, E300, E350, E450 Motorhome
I'll never go with anything else.
