Can you connect these shocks to the air compressor GM installed on this car to level the ride?

Yes, I have connected them to GM compressor on 3 different cars, over the years. Always works great.
1512847
Yes. The kit also contains a new spring for the compressor. I didn't use it as my compressor was still operating fine. Everything was pretty much plug and play; very easy install. Can't believe what I spent last time at Midas to have this done

No these shocks don't have the correct fitting for that and they are large heavy duty shocks I bought mine for a 2000 Cadillac Deville didn't fit they look like truck shocks I still have them they have been riding around in my trunk still in the box. I ended up going to Advanced Auto for mine

Yes, they connect right up. I even reused the factory airlines. Works like new.
1512850
Yes I did but decided later to go the traditional way since the OEM air compressor "gave up the ghost".

Yes I just cut tge lines off the old shocks and plugged the line into the new shocks. Worked perfectly!

Bryan, It is recommended that you use longer shocks with the lift kit. I never attempted to use the stock shocks to know if it would go together with the lift but I know the suspension would not operate properly due to the insufficient up/unload travel limitations of the shorter stock shocks.

I installed these Monroe shocks in my 60' Corvette. They cleared all exhaust, brake lines etc and were recommended by Monroe. Call Monroe for the correct air shock for your car. John

These shocks work great on my 1996 Grand van. You do not need self leveling system for these to work.

Then you will not have an air ride suspension. They will either be gas shocks for air shocks that you fill up like you would your car tire.

No I have had these shocks on my car for about a month height is about the same. Unless you car has been lowered or the springs are very worn. You car will return to it stock height.

I installed these shocks on a Buick LeSabre. I cut the old connectors off the original GM pressure lines and had plenty of line to use the new connectors that came in the kit. They are working well. I think the new ones are spring loaded.

I have not used them with an air compressor. Whether they could be-I would try it myself based on the money invested.

Yes, they are air ride shocks. They are a perfect replacement for the original factory rear shocks on my 2002 Buick Lesabre. Took maybe 45 minutes to replace the pair. Even the factory air line fitting fit the shocks perfectly. Saved a fortune compared to the factory shocks.

Compressor usually dies because shocks were leaking and caused it to run too much. I would replace compressor and also shocks (at least on the rear)

The air lines slip on and have an external clip that holds them in place, be careful not to lose the clip as these shocks do not some with them. You should not have to manually air up the shocks, they should go into place and the computer will level them later. At least that is how it went together for my 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora. I hope this helps.

I put these on my 2011 .... By the time I set the sag, my ride height was the same as it was with the factory shocks with no air. I don't think this is the shock you want if you are trying to raise the bike

No to replacing the rear shocks, just use these and set them up for the first notch above the oe height-Leveled my truck. Good Luck

Correct - it is the rear air shocks for your truck - they fit/ work perfectly (provided your compressor is not burned out).

this kit comes with the lower control arm bushings pressed into the control arms, and of course the shocks have the bushings that you need to install. so the answer to your question is yes. everything is there to install what you see in the kit. I am very satisfied with the lift. easy to install on a lift, can install on the ground with jackstands. just read your directions and it will go smooth. I did it alone on jackstands. good luck!

They're just shocks they won't raise it any.You'll probably need an add-a-leaf for towing or an air bag system of some sort
