Thanks for sharing this, Eddie. What a mess those shocks caused. I was considering air shocks, but instead got a set of helper springs from JC Whitney. They were under 50 bucks, bolted right on and gave me the two inches of lift I needed. I would have liked to change the springs, but I am not a mechanic so I have neither the tools or know how. Anyway, glad I did not go for the air shocks.
