Air shocks
Anybody use these to level their ride when towin?
Install seems very straight forward and the cost is low for 1,000 lb unit

i've got them in the front of my truck for snow plowing. rather than putting xtra leafs in. very happy w/ them. just remember not to deflate them all the way, leave 5 psi in them so they don't get ruined

when I got my truck (2002 Chevy 1500 Pick up) I went to the bone yard and got springs from a 2500, installed myself, and never looked back. It also added 2" lift to the back.

Thanks
what kind of vehicle we talking about here??
Mine wasn't to bad. 4 nuts on the Ubolts and then the 2 on the springs, which needed to be cut cause they put them on from the middle of the truck to the outside. Then they added the gas tank and muffler and there is no room to get them out they are to long.
Kept the ones from the bone yard and when reinstalling I put them in from the outside to the middle. The Ubolts need to be longer also so I kept them from the bone yard also, Paid $100 for all and sold my 1/2 ton springs for $75 to a guy making a trailer.
$25 and a afternoon all set.
