New shocks for 98 Expy

I've got to buy new shocks as the original shocks are rusted through and the ride is somewhat rough. I've been searching a number of sites on the web and am confused by which ones I should buy and whether there are any special methods I need to follow when I start removing the old shocks and installing the new ones. I've got a 98 EB Expy 4WD 5.4L. Any help would be appreciated.

BILSTEINS PERIOD. Unbelievable control, improves handling. I feel safe to say that BILSTEINS are the choice for this forum.

Bilsteins X3

They are worth the money! I would say they are probably one of the best modification for an Expy. My original shocks only had 40k when I replaced them with Bilsteins, a night and day difference over stock. They are however a slight tad on the stiff side if you ride alone(I don't mind), but with a bit of weight they are golden. GL

BTW Welcome to the forum!
