        Steve, I recommend you get  oil shocks not gas ones.  The ride will
be much better.  Gas shocks on  a Westy are too rough a ride unless you
load the van to the limit.  I sell  AL-KO's made in Spain.  They are very good
quality for the price. I  have them on my "87 Westy which has been to Mexico
and back three times on them.  If you cannot find then locally I can ship
them.  From my _Vanagon New Parts_ (http://frankcondelli.com/sales.htm)
