[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 385002, member: 1384"] I would NOT use a 2.0 air shock on anything you want to drive on the street, unless you are planning to run it a very low ride height (not much shaft showing), plus maxed out oil capacity and really stiff rebound valving. 2.0 air shocks are barely rated to carry the weight of a vehicle. Only reason I used them on the Gremlin is that I picked up the pair for dirt cheap (had to rebuild one, shaft was bent). I used 3" air bumps on it pretty much as secondary suspension, almost like a "dual rate" setup on a coilover. (I already had the air bumps also). I could have probably got some 12" travel 2.0 coilovers for about the same $ that I have in the bumps and 2.0 air shocks, and they probably would perform better, but I was just using what I had laying around at the time. The traditional coil/shock setup is a pretty easy and maintenance free setup if you are going to daily drive your rig. [/QUOTE]
