Hello all,

I have a 2003 Chevy Express 1500 Explorer conversion van and have a question about the front and rear suspension. I have 2 questions about the suspension.

1. I just replaced the rear shocks with Monroe 58606 Load Adjust Shock absorbers and I know that it will lift the rear about an inch. The shocks lifted the right side about an 1", but the left side only 1/4". If I stand back and look at the van, it looks level, but when measuring, the right side is higher. Does anyone know if this is normal or is there something else that I should check?

2. The front suspension is a little too bouncy. I also want to change the front shocks and would like to know what brand shocks would help with the bouncing? If changing shocks alone will not help, then what else can I do to help with the bouncing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

The gas tank is on the driver's side. The springs could also just be worn unevenly.

All shocks reduce bouncing. That's their job.

 

assuming the front shocks aren't just worn out, the upgrade would be to a stiffer shock.
