Hello all,

Just got a 1994 G20 conversion van. The ride is soft but get seriously bumpy on imperfections. I think it's time change the shocks. What are the specs on front and rear?Looking to go with Bilsteins but not sure if front and read are the same or not.

Thanks!

Max

 

I would go with Monroe Gas-Magnum 34839/front, 34910/rear, check your actual specs, RockAuto.com has a large selection, reasonably priced.

Thanks! I never used Monroe before. Have you had good experience with it? Price is low enough to not make such a dent in my pocket.

 

Yes, very good shock, probably most used and trusted worldwide.

 

Check out your springs too. They affect ride more so than shocks.

 

Unfortunately I cant agree with the rest of the world. Monroe,didn't even bother after one had a leak when I pulled it out of box. Bilstein, seemed way too wimpy for loaded van. But rancho. Actually broke lower mounts the po half welded on. And can you beat a lifetime warranty? Only thing I've seen tougher are the Gabriels I put on my freightliner
