ben_marko Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I just bought a used 2010 Connect XLT that I want to turn into a microRV, like on this site: http://www.cheaprvliving.com/blog/update-ford-transit-connect-ftc/ I want to improve the shocks to handle to increased load (not much, maybe 300 lbs...will it handle more?). I really want them to last. Does anyone know of good shocks I can use? I am in the Marine Corps and can use the auto hobby shop on base, but while they are good at showing one how to install new shocks, they aren't allowed to recommend shocks to use. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thank you - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 You do realize that the stock Transit Connect is rated at 1600 pounds. Seems like that ought to be more than enough for a camper rig like the one shown. Not to be a wise guy, but am I missing something here?

ben_marko Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ok, I didn't realize that. I wasn't able to find that info online, just cargo space. Thank you - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
