The '92 has Monroe & the '93 has Rancho. If PBucket wasnt being an azz I would post pic's of them.
Definitely put a set on your ride youll like the extra steering control. It helps you not over correct.

You cant do a U-Turn at a light with 2 lanes, its ridiculous! And pulling a trailer and trying to turn around is the worst.
Take Care, Kevin

Van's coming along, good job! I'm running Bilstiens on both the 1 tons, and KYB on the B250. Pretty satisfied with the Bilstiens. I ran them on everything I towed with.
A must have IMO, plus good tires, when yer skidding sideways down the fast lane, watching the cars behind you swerving in the lanes trying to figure out what to do...
The KYBs ride softer, and I sure could stand a little more dampening on impact, especifically in the front. Old B250 stock springs prolaby don't help.
Frscke1 has the best dampening setup I've seen.
I'd definitely go Bilstiens If I got a do over. Good hunting! | | | Re: Front shocks?
