I have a hotchkis 2/4 drop with edelbrock IAS shocks. With this setup I have towed a small boat and trailer and my honda civic hatchback/ HUGE Uhaul trailer. The hatchback and trailer easily weigh 2900-3000 lbs. I had no problems towing them over 120 miles, on the freeway and streets, up hills, etc.

more work and more complicated than the air shocks

Greg - truck looks good towing your house around....

Had to stick a jab in there....

Tried the helper spring....it lifted the truck back up.

Bootleg.... The airshocks are a direct replacment to your stockers. I have been using them for over 2 years.

Yeah once I get everthing else done in the line up I will investigate them. Right now I'm still working on my roll pan/hidden hitch at least so I can tow the boat for spring break and then after I get that covered I can move on to other things. boot
