Use Al-Ko's !  Very good oil shock for the money.  It's what I sell here and use on my Westy.  Soft ride.  Oil shocks are much, much better that a gas shock for these Westys which are most often driven unladen.  The gas shock gives a nice ride only when the vehicle is loaded not so when empty !  I think these shocks are what the Bus Depot sells also, so if you're not in Canada get them there.
