The great debate

Air shocks DO have a purpose. I ran them on my 70 sixpack car, mostly to offset high trunk weight occasionally. I often had two large and VERY heavy clamshell tool boxes back there, and I've carried everything from transmissions to !!!! AN ENGINE !!! in the back.

When I bought the low miles 340 from a junkyard in about 72-3 or so, I had no pickup nor access. I could have rented a trailer I spose. I simply measured it up, got a bunch of cardboard for padding, and removed the trunk lid. I padded around it with LOTS of cardboard, and ran two rope harnesses around it, tied to the hitch receiver. Had a REAL easy drive up to Miramar.

The day I sold that car, it had 140,000 on the body, and the shock mounts were just FINE.

I did NOT however, use them for ride height for tires.
