Any opinions on air shocks? I just finished installing a set of Monroe air shocks on the rear of the ol Ranger. Easy, took about a half hour. Last year, I added a pair of helper springs to take some of the droop out (and, they did). The more I looked at those helper springs, the more I worried. It looks like they put a lot of stress on the main leaf. Thus, air shocks! I can raise the ass end up 6 inches, or more.
Ass end isn't dragging, now.
I installed the tee to keep the pressure equal on both sides but I may switch them over to individual air valves. The air-line kit was very cheaply made (plastic). I'd much rather have brass. Also, since rangers tend to droop a little more on the drivers side, because of the weight of the gas tank, I think individual air valves would solve that problem, too.
Any thoughts?
