SO IF I GOT THIS RIGHT IF YOU REPLACE FRONT REAR SPRINGS WITH HEFTER SPRINGS NO NEED FOR AIR,WOULD THEY BE ADJUSTABLE WITH JUST THE SPRINGS,GOT ANY MODEL NUMBERS FOR THE SPRINGS?THANKS A LOAD Ctoytender01":1abknj7p said::hi: welcome candp1....Just a remember that the air is monitered by the red light on the tach it will have to be delt with ... remove the bulb or tape over the light... the green wire on the rear shock assembly under the right side cover os where the air pressure is senced...If you install progressive springs you can still use air and the light will still work.... I belive part of that system is also in the speedo???? Bob
when you say rebuilt shocks,can the standard air shock be taken apart and a hefter spring be put in?what is the secquinze of the take apart?thanksmcgovern61":32z0xs6t said:Welcome to the site from New Jersey! :clapping:
Most of us have either rebuilt or just cleaned up our shocks. I have not seen a post yet of anyone using standard shocks yet. (Not that you can't). JC Whitney used to sell rear coil spring shocks at one time, but I do not know if they still have them.
