Chris, I followed your advice and emailed Quigley for Bilstein suggestion. Sent'em the VIN. Here's what I got back;

Again, we did not change the rear shocks. Whatever the parts book at PEP boys or the Ford dealer says for the shock on that year Econoline van, that’s the one.

I suppose this is helpful, and I havent gone to PEPBoys as yet.

Call Quigley up and give them your vin, they will tell you the exact bilstein part number to get for the front and back. I dont recommend buying the shocks from Quigley though, as I was able to find a much better deal on them online.
You will love the ride the new Bilsteins will give. The gain is worth 5x what it costs for the shocks. The vans ride so bad with the stock shocks, its like a completely different van after.

I'm curious if you recall who you spoke to at Quigley.

It was last march, I do not remember her name. After leaving my VIN #, they called me back and gave me part #'s. I asked if they had them in stock and she looked the price up and said that it was kinda high for the fronts. I do not know if it was because I have an 09? But I was able to find a really good deal on them online, and I'm very happy with them. I really wish I just ordered that option from quigley when I bought the van new.

Approx $430 shipped for front and rear, give or take $20. I found a site that had them cheap, then found a coupon code for %10 off. Unfortunatly I had a computer crash a few months back and lost the bookmark to the site.
The rear part # quigley gave me was BE5E074HO, and is PROBABLY (check first) the same for your van. I dont think the rears were changed. The front shock was changed in 2008 so the part # I have is no good for an 03.
