I understand that these shocks are HEIGHT adjusted only by the on board air pump as governed by the load leveling switch......so that if a heavy load is added to the car dropping the rear, the air pump inflates the shocks to level out the car AND when...

I installed mine on a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville. Since my original air pump was working fine, I chose not to replace the spring. I believe the spring replacement is a precautionary move just to ensure you are not looking at a failure some time down the road and have to get back under the car. Air shocks of any kind will not give you a soft ride as comparable to standard gas or fluid shocks. I do not feel my ride is harsh, but I do know the rear bushings need replacement, and they are instrumental in helping cushion the rear suspension and allowing the parts to move freely. I would look there before replacing the air shocks. I had thought about doing that to but decided I preferred having the automatic load leveling.

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.

These shocks are for stock ride height. You should be looking at the Bilstein 5100 for the lift.

Depends on your objective. If you want to stabilize the ride then they are better if you are hauling extra heavy loads then you need the air shocks to level the vehicle.

No they didn't actually lift anything but they are a loadbearing shock. I was thinking the same thing you are when I got them. I ended up getting cargo springs to pick the front end up. But they have been good shocks.

The ones you are looking at our shorter so it will lower your bike by 1"... when I got mine.. it got the H/Duty because I weigh about 235 and when I load it they work well. It is nice not having to check to see if you have air or not in the shock.. And the ride is much better than the air shocks.. Harley now places there version of these now on the CVO Ultra's . But the Harley ones are like $ 600.00 ..Good luck

These leaf springs do not add lift. If you are experiencing "sag" in the rear, these will correct that and return the vehicle to "stock" ride height.

No they will not. If you are looking for something to keep your truck level when towing, you need either air shocks or a leveling system that includes an on board compressor. FYI, I used K.Y.B. shocks on two vehicles and have had problems with them, I will never buy them again. I have gone back to using Gabriel shocks.

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

the rear will sit high for a while and then it will settle down a little lower. it will never get as low as it was with air suspension. this is a plus because you will never bottom out and never have a problem again. very satisfied with the product. it will outlive the car itself

I have an 04 Cadillac Escalade with Autoride. I replaced the factory air shock with these (which are actually GM shocks relabeled "Monroe"). It is very common to have to replace the air pump do to it burning up when a bag starts to leak air do to a hole or natural degradation of the bag it's self. The pump tries to get the pressure up in the self leveling shock/bag and will continue to do so each time you are driving your vehicle. Until it finally burns the pump up from being over worked. The pumps normal time of operation is only 10-30 seconds when you first start your vehicle, so when it runs for minutes or even hours it burns up quick...

I have a 98 Dodge Pick up. I only have rear air shocks and ten ply rear tires. I pumped them up to max pressure and put 65 lbs in the tires. I then added 2500 pounds to my bed and drove it around for two days in city and freeway traffic. Granted, I watched what I did, but had no problems. You figure it from there.

This is a air shock there is no adjustment it is done with the two air chambers you set by your weight. This is not a $1000 dollar shock. What it is is a great upgrade for the money. I had high dollar shocks in the past and this on gives them a run for the money.rocshox did a great job.

the shocks are compressed but when you twist them they're supposed to elongateand if they didn't you need to pull them back out and twist them I believe by either clockwise or counterclockwise and they should elongate therefore not being compressed anymore otherwise something is wrong with the shock itself

These shocks are for stock ride height. The shock part is only medium duty, but the extra spring is nice to firm up the soggy TTB ride.

I would have to say no. These are air shocks that rise when you put air in them, not lower. You want air bags and even then you are going to have to completely modify the spring perches and shock mounts. Don't know exactly how you are going to do that, but lower? Don't think these are what you are looking for...
