Vans in general are tough on front shocks. I know since I'm on my fourth
one (2 Fords and 2 Dodges) now. There is just so much weight on the nose
and the suspension can travel pretty far. Put on the most heavy-duty
replacement shocks you can find from third party makers such as Gabriel or
Monroe. Trick parts like off-road specialty shocks are not going to add
anything except wallet deflation. Be prepared to replace them every 2-3
years.
