Cheapest way to get an inch or 2...

To all the nay-sayers... If you had read the OP's message, he said he was looking for an inch or 2 lift, so that's hardly the weight of the whole car on the shock mounts.

Just for the record, I have Monroe air shocks on my Dart as we speak, and with less than 40lbs of air,they give me the inch or 2 lift I want, and ride great!!

Yes, I will agree if you put 300lbs of air in them, the cars' gonna ride like a stagecoach.

okay let me rephrase that; if you put 40 or so PSI in the shocks and it lifts the car a couple inches you don't think there is 300-400 pounds or more riding on the upper shock mounts? cars that were made to handle weight on the upper shock mounts had big mounts on the top and something called a strut

shocks help with rebound; struts hold weight on a car like A bodies shocks shouldn't be used to lift a car any

air shocks cost what? $100? for that price you can get 2 add a leafs and the U bolts and put an extra leaf in either side
