Hi,
I need to change the 4 shock absorbers of my 1984 B350. Could you please tell me if it is possible to lowered the van lightly just with new shocks? And could you please inform me on the shocks model I have to buy?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Soory for my poor English, I am from France,
Brgds,
Sebastien

A set of different shocks won't lower the van. Some people have cut the front coil springs to lower them a few inches. There isn't a "proper" lowering kit available for Dodge vans.

One thing you can do, is go to a lower profile tire. Maybe a 60 or 65 series tire.

Hi Nate,
Thanks a lot for your tips! I will choose to lower my profile tire on the front wheel!
Moreover, do you know what kind of shocks shoud I buy? Do you know if Bilstein or Gabriel is a nice brand not too expensive?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien
