Make: Ford
Model: E150
Year: 1997
Chassis Designation: Conversion Van
What is your driving style: Luxury Driver
Vehicle Setup: Rear Wheel Drive
Suspension Type: Regular Shocks or Struts
Question:
Our van is for highway driving and we tow a 18' pontoon boat. Because conversions add weight I think our shocks should be heavy duty. Is that correct
Answer:
You're absolutely right, with the extra weight of your conversion van and the boat you tow, Heavy Duty shocks will be needed to keep you safe and in control, expecially at highway speeds and on rough roads. I think your best bet will be the Bilstein Heavy Duty or KYB Monomax shocks. Both are very well built heavy duty high pressure monotubes that will take whatever you throw at them.
