The stock Boges are a good middle-of-the-road shock and are my second
choice, but my first choice is the Koni's if they're within your budget
(around $100 each). IMO they are simply the best shocks you can put on your
Vanagon. Uniquely, they are adjustable upon installation, allowing you to
choose your own ride quality, rather than having to live with a shock that
turns out to be too harsh or too mushy for your tastes.  You can also adjust
them down the road to compensate for wear, as all shocks soften a bit over
time. They have a lifetime factory warranty so they're the last shocks
you'll ever have to buy for your Vanagon (although to be honest I don't
believe we've ever seen one actually fail).

They fit for all Vanagons except Syncros:
