Question 2001 ford expy question

well, I was going to replace my airbags but I think I am going to convert.

I do alot of towing so I opted for the heavy duty rear springs from Suncore Industries parts and ride conversion kits from florida. Lifetime warranty plus directions to turn of cluster light and bypassing front suspension. The tech told me that they replace just the back springs on the expys and navs all the time and since I do alot of towing, I should buy the heavy duty.

What do you guys think.

Oh the kit cost 264.00 delivered and I can do the work myself.

Your front should not have springs. Only tortion bars, that's why they only replace the rears.

are you saying that the 2001 ford expy dont have front shocks. I know it has all wheel lls. Its a 4by4 too. If it doesnt require front springs why does everyone want me to do a four wheel conversion. Im baffled. In any case, I think I will take a chance replacing only the rear regardless of whats in the fron. Will I b safe in that regard.
Thanks

It has shocks at all four corners, however only springs in the rear, and torsion bars up front. Take a look when you get a minute. I was quite surprised as well when I had mine.
