cjm1973,

Good to know about the Bilstein shocks. I installed the KYBs shortly after I bought our (used 2016) van in 2018. The improvement over the stock shocks was significant. Lately I've wondered if the KYB's are starting to lose some of their capacity (after 3 years and about 35000 miles). I'm not experiencing the bounce and jarring that I did with the dead stock shocks, so I think there's still some life in the KYBs, but I think their life is fading.

 

Let us know how that new van tows that load when you get it. I have a 2019 with the 6.0L L96/6 speed/3.42 gears and tow a 6500 lb TT with a family of six. The van does great but my only complain is when driving into head winds or any angle at speeds of 65-70, the van will spend most of its time in 4th at 3000 RPM. I have a Grand Design Imagine which I think is fairly tall but none the less I have been eye balling those new vans with the 6.6L. They list the tow ratings the same I think as the older vans but we all know in the real world they should be an improvement in the weight range we are at.
