5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade to my Caravan!, August 27, 2010

I purchased these shocks a few weeks back for my 2003 Dodge Caravan SE and I just got around to installing them last night.

Installation was a breeze and only took me a total of 30 minutes! Kudos to Dodge for making the rear shocks unbelievably easy to replace! This has got to be the easiest shock replacement I have ever done!

1. Jack up the rear end and place jack stands under the axle.
2. Remove tires.
3. Remove upper shock mounting bolts.
4. Remove lower shock mounting bolts.
5. Install lower side of shock first, but do not tighten all the way.
6. Place your jack on the body frame and raise the body so the upper mounting holes match.
7. Install upper mounting bolts and tighten to specified torque.
8. Re-tighten lower mounting bolts.
9. Re-install tires
10. Remove jack stands.

I did notice that the height of the rear end was slightly raised, but only by an inch or two at the most.

The ride quality is very much like the oem shocks, but the rear end does not sag and body roll is greatly reduced while driving.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their oem shocks.

I am very happy with this purchase and am sure you will be too.

I have had these shocks on for about a week now. Installation was very easy, and the ride is really nice no where as stiff as i had thought they would be. It will also be nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about packing to much in the van.
