ok I'm monoed, have 2in blocks, and stock shocks. tired of not being able to load the bed. i want to get air shocks and a pair of drop leafs. question is what kind of air shocks would be best to put on my 95 toyota pickup and what brand would be best to go with as far as drop leaf springs. also WHERE can i get both items. THANKS!
With a decent set of drop springs, you won't need air shocks. As the load carrying capability will be somewhat close or better than stock. I ran a set I got new off of eBay supposedly made by either Belltech or DJM. Can't remember which now, but they rode nicely.
I had the same question... I'm running stock length gabriel airshocks atm w/3" blocks. I'm getting ready to put the 3" belltech leaf springs on, and don't know if anyone was running a similar setup, and if the used vw bug air shocks, or wuat?
I'm running the drop leafs on my 85. Since the rear shocks are at an angle I just went with a stock length KYB Monomax shock and haven't had any problems. Since the shocks are at an angle, the overall distance they reduce in length with a 3 inch drop spring is minimal. Also, my belltech's really only dropped 2 inches, the little plates where the axle bolts to the spring had the other inch.
