Air shocks should not be used for lifting. They are used to maintain the correct vehicle height. The shock mounts are not designed to hold the weight of the vehicle.
Indefinitely.
Easy: 1) Disconnect the air hose clips. 2) Unbolt the bottoms of the shocks. 3) Unbolt the tops of the shocks 4) Install new shocks 5) When installing the hoses to the new shocks, make sure the seals are clean and lubricate them lightly with a little silicone. Now, replacing the pressure hoses, that is a much harder job.
No.
Probably from blow by. Check your PCV valve for proper operation.
you would expect it to have high pressure
no,not truck shocks, but you can use spring helpers or you can order a lift kit for the front and for the rear you can get air shocks from your local parts supplier.
No. Just wheel soacers in the front and air shocks in da rear.
i got 22 on my 88 caprice i put 4 inch lift springs front and rear. tires are 265/35r/22
Yes.
Yes they can.
Air shocks are not designed to lift. They are designed to aid the suspension to maintain the correct level. The shock mounts are not designed to hold the weight of the vehicle.
Rear air shocks work by using a small air compressor to provide additional lift and support. This is particularly handy for towing heavy loads.
I used air shocks in the back and about 5 blocks n the front and no scrub
The air compressor for the shocks is located under a plastic shield on the left side of the car in the front bolted on to the frame
You need air shocks, probably shackles & maybe shock extensions also. Any place that does lifts should have everything you need,
Yes I have an 84 with 22' s and my tire size is 265/35R22. I have air shocks in da rear and lift blocks on da front. Steering wheel Turns about a 1/4 turn from full turn on both side
Air shocks should be installed by a professional. You are dealing with high compression springs which can be fatal if handled incorrectly.
