dumb question re larger wheel

I know this is the F150 forum but you guys seem to be well informed and i need some help.

I am going from 15 to 16" wheels on a 95 Eurovan Camper. Do I need new shocks to accommodate the larger wheel?
thanks

No. Unless you're lifting your van, the shocks will be fine hahaha

still working on that part. probably put one or more spring pad under rear left spring and maybe one under right spring. have torsion bar adjusted and if needed install Bilstein HD shocks. Gowesty,com has details on what they install, but only sell kit with tries and wheels which i don't need. That why i am trying to figure out how to do it. in the end will have it done at a shop.

You're good then. Even lifting that method, you still won't need longer shocks.
