I would also recommend the AlKo's very highlly. We also carry their shocks,
and they are on our website. They are, in my opinion, the best value for the
dollar in a Vanagon shock. In terms of overall performance, I would place
them second to the Koni's (which we also sell), which I would call the best
Vanagon shock of all.
