[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 711047, member: 1780"] I've seen several of the rigs out west work awesome on air shocks. The Got Propane toyota, some of the AZ Undertakers, etc. I fought air shocks on my old Toyota rig, which made me hate them at that time, but looking back there were other factors contributing to my problems. Initially it had 18" Fox 2.0 air shocks in rear and leafs up front. I eventually swapped in some 16" Fox 2.5 air shocks in the rear with only about 4-5" of shaft showing (which also lowered it down a bit from where it was with the 18's, then had the front end 4 linked and ran 14" Fox 2.0 emulsion coilovers. My rear suspension geometry may have been out of whack, my rig leaned quite a bit, but much less so after swapping to coilovers up front and the 2" shorter Fox 2.5's in the rear. Was a much different rig then. I never bothered with fine tuning any valving or oil in either, so there was definitely room for improvement, but it was "good enough" at that point for me. [/QUOTE]
