Try using the stock Boge shocks in the fornt and the KYB gas shocks in the rear. I really don't like the KYB on the van because they are too stiff and cause other things to break on your van instead. motor mounts, exhaust, basically anything that can fatigue with getting jeerked around. The softer shocks should absorb this impact from the road. I got a set of Bilsteins on my Westy, they're nice but the Boge are very close. Go with new Boge all the way around.
