Progressive 416 Series Air Shocks
« on: June 09, 2009, 08:25:52 PM »
Anyone ever use these or know someone that uses these? JC Whitney has them for $84. Since someone jacked up my front end and it's getting redone I was thinking some new shocks would round it out. Any help is appreciated. Especially smart ass remarks and thread jacking  :D

I once had a pair of chrome S & W air shocks on my F as a replacement for the sorry stock shocks. Better than those but not performance shocks. Helped with big loads. Needed to adjust accordingly. Tendency to bounce otherwise. Rubber air bags get pourous with time.

How would using my springs on some new shocks, if they fit, work or is that no no?
