Hi all. Planning a 3200 mile trip at the end of the year so im getting a parts liat together for the Expy. Currently im trying to figure out what shocks to go with.
I have an 09 Expy EL.
I wanted to go with they KYB strut assembly and simply swap them in. However i cant find the rears for a reasonable price and rock auto is sold out. The. I also dont know if they are for the EL or not, there is no clarification.
I dont want Bilsteins because they provide a harsher ride quality in my experiance. We have very bad roads, and live down a bumpy dirt road.
This trip the truck will be loaded up and i kind of wanted to get a set of self levling struts but it seems like only Motorcraft makes those, and they dont last long from what i have been reading.
Anyone have any thoughts on struts?
Im leaning towards just getting KYB struts and just assembling them myself.
If anyone has thoughts, opinions, and most importantly experiance i would love to hear from you.
