LLS Conversion

I have a 97 Expy 4X4 with 4 wheel LLS and I'm going to convert it to the Strutmasters springs. My question is, do I have to use the coil over shocks from Strutmasters in the front, or can I put regular shocks on. If I can use regular shocks what part number do I use?

All expy's with front springs have a "coil over" system, so not real sure what you mean by regular shocks.

4X4's with 4 wheel LLS have torsion bars with air-shocks in the front. The Strutmasters kit has a coil-over shock that replaces the air-shock for the front. I need to know if I have to use the coil-over shocks, or can I use a shock without the coil-over.

Your right, I read right past the "4x4", so you do not have the typical Expy front end. To answer your question..........not sure, but it would seem unlikely unless you were to replace other components to a setup more alond the lines of a typical Expy with springs, that way you have a perch for your springs to rest on.
