Plan to use on 2003 Astro for the purpose of *LOWERING* 2-3 inches. Could these shocks work for that?

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...

Yes they fit and work grea. If you have duals or a custom exhaust you might have trouble because they are a lot thicker then the stock shocks.

It depends. Does your car have rear air ride suspension? There will be 2 bolts holding the shock in place on the bottom and 3 on top. If that fits the criteria on your car they will more than likely work. It's a good idea to replace mounts when taking out the shocks too but you don't have to.

you need to get the ones for a four inch lift, or they will not have enough rebound. They are great shocks, mine are for three inch lift, check application chart.

Very likely, as they are a common size. I used these on a 70 C10 and the shocks of this era are all similar. Good luck.

correct .... they will work if you have mounting extentions . you have to know what you are doing , and know how much jeep is lifted - so shock does not "top out "

They will probably work for your application, as long as you have 1-1/2" to 2" Leaf Springs, a straight axle, and u-bolts, plates, nuts, and washers holding them together now, but I can't say for sure. The good news is, this a fairly cheap option to try, and if they work you'll be happy. And, if they don't work, at least you didn't spend too much money on them.

I think you can probably put them on but they are not designed for the OEM style shock you purchased. They are made to fit shocks that have an exposed piston rod without the steel tube like an OEM type has. I used it on a Monroe SC2928 Magnum Steering Damper. Look it up and you can see what I am talking about. Many aftermarket "offroad" shocks are built the same way and require a similar boot.

These shocks are designed for rear use. I used them on my 2003 Buick. Great product.

YeS they will. As the wheel size gets larger the tire sidewall size gets smaller so the overall circumference remains the same. These shocks are 13 in eye to eye.

Not just for stock, they have enough travel for what seems to be about 3 inches safely, i put these shocks in with a "Leveling Kit" that raised the back 2 inches and the front about 3-3.5 Inches.

Yes, it should. I put them in the front end of a lowered 1995 Mustang due to dragging the bottom when backing up the ramp into my storage barn. It appears to have raised the front end about 1.5 to 2.0 inches. It also helped the stiff and abrupt ride :-) They were a little tuff to install since you have to spread the springs to force these rubber pieces in to place. They are a cheap way to avoid installing new springs.

Yes but be extremely careful with the screws. Tighten them evenly. Not compatible with all shocks so try to stick with oem

Those shocks are for the rear, if your truck is lowered they may be too compressed. If the truck is not lower turn the knob to a higher number you may be on its lowest setting with very little resistance, the shocks I installed work like a dream, but I have a 4x4 so it is higher off the ground stock

these shocks are for rear only good luck in finding a front ciol shock, you may need to but a conversion kit.

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

Hi keith, they are 3". And like i said in my reveiw these shock don't keep my truck from sagging down when hauling my 900lb motorcycle. I had to add a leaf to the leaf springs along with these shocks. So if i had it to do over i would add a leaf first. George
