Default Re: Air shocks...

My one owner '70 428CJ Mach 1 had a pair of Gabriels with an ON BOARD COMPRESSOR mounted under the hood and a controller under the dash. Some nifty air horns, too. It all got canned within a week of buying it. (Although the car still had the factory smog system and non-shaker air cleaner, go figure.)

Sorry to be a hater here, but I just loathe air shocks. They're such a cheat to get the stance you want, with all the ride, handling, and structural questions surrounding turning shock mounts into "hardtail" suspension load points.

Anyway, that's just my unwanted .02c worth. Back to the discussion. How about a new discussion on dropping the front end using a torch? That's even easier than air shocks, no parts to buy or disassembly required!

(I'll quit now, thanks
