Boges are the stock shock for the Vanagon and they offer the ride you
are looking for.  They really hold up well too.  Most of the time when I
replace them on a Vanagon only one is leaking and the others seem to be
still good (after 150k miles on my '91 Carat).
Just FYI.


Thanks,

I am looking to replace the shocks on my 91 Carat. Now that i have my
new Kuhmo tires thanks to Goldibox (Tim) i'm ready for some shocks.
Which are the least stiffest? I am trying to avoid a very stiff ride.
Thanks for all your help.


P.S. I took all of the advice and cruised around 6800 rpm's
and had a flawless 600 mile trip over Thanksgiving. Thanks So Much!
