It currently has Bilstein shocks for an e350 motorhome! I’m relapsing them because one already snapped and I found out it was because the shocks are waay to stiff for my ride. I measured from the center of the bottom eye to the top of shock where the bottom bushing goes and its measured 16.5”. The shocks are the right size but way too stiff. I dont like how it rides also and im 100% certian its because the stiff shocks. Any recommendations for new shocks?

    Thanks! Sean

    Not a body lift. That would be a "spacer" lift in conjunction with some aftermarket springs
    But where we gonna find rubber pants our size?
