I used a floor jack to get the shock in place (mostly rear). My arms can't replicate a 5500# truck

I think I need longer/stronger shocks on my Quest minivan, I'm tired of scraping the hitch on driveways (and it was really bad when we were fully loaded down on our roadtrip to CO: 5xBodies, 5xLuggage, 5xBikes)
You can add rear air bags inside your rear coil springs and help the loaded down for trips or towing. Pump it up with a bike pump, tip is to keep both air bags separate and pump them up separate. Some T them both together and only have one inlet. But the problem is that air from one bag goes to the other bag on uneven roads. $80-130
