These are what my wagon was riding on in the back I had them removed yesterday.

They were way too bouncy and I always feared if I had a line come off I was stranded.

So I now have Impala SS springs with air bags inside them.

I feel like I have a new car,and it sits fine without any air at all.

NICE! Glad to see you are really playing with the toys again. I still want to put a set of variable-rate rear springs on mine. On the to-do list!

LORD I want chrome Impala wheels. SO SHARP!

Lorne...... be sure to keep a 5 psi. in those bags. According to airlift they may fail without it. Looks nice!! I put a compressor and auto switch set at 5 psi.. Max is 35 psi...........

Lorne:

Will take the ugly air bags off your hands. Will even pay shipping.

Seriously though, they have an internal bump stop in them incase of blowout. Would love to have them on the Caddy with some good conventional shocks. Two years on a set of AC Delco airshocks and their done. Need the air for towing and those are the good ones. The cheapy ones (inside the spring) just won't cut it. Blew two sets of them. If your running any load at all, make sure you don't exceed 75lbs. Any decent bump will push them over their rated 100PSI, and always keep at least 5 lbs. in them. Got my money back but had to re-install the airshocks.

Let me know.

Bill

Sorry Bill,as I told Tim Daddyswagon over on ISSF spoke for them months ago so they are his.

The bags I now have are out of my Suburban.

I know about the min lbs required but the weak spot is the connections on the bags. They need pressure on them to be guaranteed.
