KYB does not make a Gas Adjust series shock for the front of a Vanagon, only a GR2 (although it sells for the same price as the rear Gas Adjust). However, the front of your Vanagon should not be substantially higher than the rear with this configuration. It is not on my '89 Westy with KYB's, for instance. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com
