Anyone use airshocks ?

Back when I was a kid, we would buy air shocks to jack up the rear of our "race cars". Anyone try them on the trucks? Does the ride improve? I figure if the shocks lift the truck, it will be up due to an air bag in the shock and might improve the ride.

I used to do that too. Ah, the folly of youth! ;) When you blow those things way up to pick the rear of the vehicle you take away the shock function. Mine rode like a rock! :cry: Same thing on our trucks.
Repairing the springs is the best way to raise the rear. As for the ride, either load the truck or buy a chebby. ;)

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
