Folks, I have a 63 LeSabre Vert that is sitting low in the rear. I was thinking of new springs but a friend of mine mentioned air shocks. Not racing just for show. Can't find airshocks. Monroe doesn't make 'em anymore and can't find a Gariel Dealer near me. Any suggestions? John
I don't think the springs will set you back much more than a set of air shocks and it is really the "right" way to do it. The air shocks put a lot of load on a shock mount that was designed to dampen a load, not carry it and the rear springs are an easy swap. Ken
New springs would also last longer than the air shocks - you'd not have to worry about filling it up every so often.
there are these. http://www.ridetech.com/productinfo/coolride.asp that replace the springs and don't touch the shocks. the A-bodys are pretty easy to put air ride on. Though you'll mess the front caster (I think thats the one) when your sitting low if you drop the rear. nate the A body kit for rear
