Hello all!
New at this board, but looks like a great place.
I have a 93 boneville without the self leveling suspension.
I found Gabriel 801597 at a great price, and wanted to know if I could make these work. They are for the self adjusting suspension. How does the suspension work? Is it like air shocks? Could the air input be plugged?
Thanks!!

Usually people ask if they can use non-leveling struts with the ELC feature. This is different...
The Electronic Level Control compensates for passengers or heavy loads in the trunk. This only affects the rear struts, not the front. It's meant to keep the car level with the additional weight. You can use those struts in your car (providing they are meant for the H-body platform) without any negative effects. But definately plug the orifice. Without it plugged, you can shorten the life of the strut.
