Re: Rear end sag

Air shocks put undo load on the shock mounts and such and are junk when the shock wears out. They also need VERY high pressures to work.

Airlift bags are THE intelligent choice. They outlast the shocks, the keep the weight at the spring, use very low pressure to do their job so any compressor will do and do the job quickly.

At one point I did the different rear coils, got tired of that.

I have airlifts in both the cars I am driving now and the Roady I am no longer driving had load leveler so I kept airshocks on it but the compressor died, I started to do the manual fill on the shocks and the pressures needed to support any real load are quite high, they just suck. Liking them is about like thinking a carbed 283 is the pinacle of smallblock technology.
