[FC] Question About Nos Pleasurizer Shocks!

[Ken Hand]

 The only real way to control that bounce, or lack there of, because the front springs are way to stiff is to make a spring change. The only way to make a real change in how the front behaves is to change the springs and shocks as a kit. Doing this will lower the front of the van and also make it ride like a Cadillac. On bumps where you used to hit your head on the ceiling you will now think to yourself, what was that?

OH, cutting the original springs will only make the front stiffer and worse on bumps.

"...Installing Shocks on my rampside! Is Gm Pleasurizer shocks on  front 

and back better then going to local auto parts store and buying updated  

shocks like KYB or Gabriel from clarks! Need Input thks..."

 

In an effort to control the front, "Bouncy, Bouncy" of my  Greenbrier, I 

tried several types of "heavy duty" shocks. NOTHING would  control the front 

end. I was considering cutting the springs, but took one last  stab at 

another set of shocks. I "bit the "bullet" and anted up the $$$ for  Koni shocks 



from Clark's. With the Konis set on their firmest setting, the van  now takes 

big bumps and dips like a "regular" vehicle. The rear has never been  an 

issue; there, I'm using a run-of-the-mill, non-adjustable, "heavy duty"  

shock.
