Yes, some of the sites like Rock Auto show that the quick struts for 6 cyl. Caravans fit the 4 cyl.. But when you go to the mfg. websites, they state "not for 4 cyl. models". That's why I confirmed it with e mails to the companies (still waiting to check Gabriel).
The struts/shocks are the same for 4 cyl. vs. 6 cyl.. I am guessing brelandt is correct about spring rates (handle different engine weights).
In fact, some sites claim that a vehicle might have up to a dozen different spring options and that quick struts are a compromise that may not match the OEM.
Thanks everyone.
