SMB shock upgrade

our SMB looks like it rides higher in front then in back, nose high. I know the wheel wells in front are much higher giving the illusion of nose high but it measures out that way too. Is this a characteristic of the build or are the shocks just shot. Looking at upgrading to the Fox setup on Field Vans web site.

Its more likely that the rear springs are just sagging due to fatigue and/or extra weight. Pretty common particularly if you have a few years on your van. It would help folks contribute if you list the year and make. My guess would be you're more likely in for a new set of year springs or spring helper of some sort.

Along with that ^^ information the actual weight of your van in its as loaded or traveling configuration. If you don't already have that it might be a good idea to learn those figures soon.
