Air shocks are good for vehicles that carry heavy loads, although there are other options for load bearing suspension that work just as well. Standard shock absorbers are much less expensive and work well with the average passenger vehicle.
To turn off the service ride control light after replacing air shocks with conventional shocks on a 2000 Suburban, you typically need a 6.8k ohm resistor. This resistor is used to simulate the resistance of the air shock's electrical system, tricking the vehicle's computer into thinking the air shocks are still present. It's best to connect the resistor to the air shock harness where the original shocks were connected. However, always consult a service manual or a professional for specific instructions and to ensure proper installation.
Yes, and you might want to do that if you air compressor is not working anymore. If the compressor is working, I would suggest continuing to use the air-shocks since you get the benefit of a load adjusted ride. I have used both Monroe and OEM AC Delco shocks, and they both work well. If you go with non-air shocks, make sure you disable the air compressor by pulling the fuse, etc. Otherwise the compressor may just keep running.
Yes you can.
This car does not come with air shocks.
When changing air shocks to regular shocks, you should carefully disconnect the air lines from the air shocks. Make sure to cap or seal the air lines to prevent any dirt or moisture from entering the system. It's also important to check for any leaks or damage in the air system before completing the installation of the regular shocks. Finally, ensure that the new shocks are properly installed and adjusted for optimal performance.
If you are looking to make air shocks operate like air bags, you will be disappointed.
Shocks- some are air shocks. Shocked?
Follow the instructions that come with the shocks.
Air shocks allow the vehicle to ride smoother than regular shocks. Also, it helps the car carry greater weight over longer distances than regular shocks.
Any air shocks are good and will work on your car.
The air shocks that are made by Gabriel (Hijacker Air Adjustable Shocks) are designed for vehicles that carry heavy loads and tow boats or trailers. There are not any Gabriel air shocks that are designed for passenger cars like convertibles, sedans and coupes.
You have to replace with springs and shocks
