missing? Rear shocks on a 95 ext E4wd
ok. is my van supposed to have shocks oin the rear? it only has coil springs. no shock absorbers whatsoever.
its a 95 E4wd ext. my 91 shorty had rear shocks.
I dont even think this one has the mounting studs. if they are gone too do I have to buy new ones? is that possible?
I am planning to put air helper bags in the rear coils. would this eliminate the need for rear shocks anyways? lemme know!

If you have no shocks on the back it will hardly be driveable because it will be bouncing up and down so bad. Without rear shocks if you hit a big enough bump the rear springs will fall out which could be a bit of a problem too

about the bouncing....
my 91 2WD shorty had shocks in the rear, but they were blown. and that van bounced alot. the 95 4WD ext doesnt bounce as much as sway, maybe the extra weight in the back keeps it from bouncing as much? i dont know. but I dont see shocks back there anywhere!

That's weird. I am sure you would be bouncing a lot without shocks. I'll take a picture of the shocks on my 95 Ext 4WD and e-mail it to you. Maybe you're looking at the wrong place.

thanks for all the help and attention people! I found them after getting pics sent to my email, there they were, hiding!
so I do have shocks, I found em just in time to yank em out and get some air-shocks instead to get rid of the "EXT droop"
thanks so much!
