The Gabriel shocks would be the way to go it they are a smaller diameter.
The Air line runs to a hole that was already present in the LR wheel well. Not an ideal location, but seems OK so far.

Re: new suspension ideas
I like them because I've overloaded it for a road trip and it rides at the correct level. The rear doesn't seem to wander around as much either. Only problem is that the car is now so heavy that every big hill is 3rd gear at 45 mph. About like an old VW bus.

Re: new suspension ideas
After living with the air shocks for a couple weeks and 1,300 miles it seems the biggest problem is that the maximum shock extension runs out before the maximum suspension extension. This is only a problem when air pressure raises the rear of the car too far - then you hear a loud clunk when the suspension drops into a hole.dlb wrote:how do you like the air shocks so far, shawn? where does the air line run to?
