Current setup is 3"blocks with pulled leaf sitting on bumpstops.. Gonna thro a small notch in there and i wanna run air shocks...So whats the best ones i could get for this setup?
I have the monroe air shocks and like them a lot. My setup is belltech drop leafs and about 5-10psi and rides great.
Ok say im running these air shocks..how much up and down travel am i going to have in my ride height???
Dont really care about the ride....been rollin around on bumpstops for the past couple weeks lol...just wanna go lower and was wondering if air shocks are a good choice...
The ride and travel are goona depend on how much psi you put in. I don't like to ride around with my axle bouncing of the the frame so w/drop leafs and low pro bump stops and the shocks I have about 3/4" of travel and the ride is super.
Da Roach nailed it, PSI makes all the difference. My old truck would get3 MAYBE 4 inches of lift if if really filled the shocks up but most of the time they never had air in them. mono leaf, 3" blocks and botched for bags, funny thing though the frame would only touch the ground if I stood on the tailgate.
Here's a truck I did with a cool air shock setup because he wanted to haul his street bike. I pulled his leaf too so I did some R&D and found air shocks that were 2" shorter. They are for a VW and you have to mess with the bushings but that's it. They were Monroe 803 or somethinglike that. The thread should say.

nope, it was a cheap $800 turd I got to have fun with. All it had was the main leaf springs, originally we pulled the middle and flipped the overload.
