want higher rear ride height w/o airshocks

[rumblefish360]

well anything using the shock to hold up the car is bad news... just a matter of time before you rip the whole mount out of the body...

new springs is what you need, and correct shocks...

It won't happen, your suggestion at the bottom is the best way to do it!

i have ran air shocks for years and never had a shock mount fail. but i dont blast them full with 150 psi either. the PO had auto zone shackles on my duster when i bought it, and you could feel the rear end shifting in the corners

You and I both brother. For the last 20 years people have told me that would happen and it has not happened yet. I have put on a few hundred 1/4 mile pass's (SP?) and logged over 50 thousand miles easy as a daily driver. The rear shock support is still straight and not going anywhere.

It ios plain ol'bull cocky that the air shocks will rip a mount out. But then again, if it is rusty enuff.......................

air shocks get a bad rap because of the way people use them. hell, back in the day, we use to make "runs" dukes of hazzard style through the backroads. the road comes to a set of railroad tracks, with a nice little hump over them , at 60 mph and with 120 pounds of air in the shocks, we would go blasting over them time after time, and never blew a shock or a mount. those mounts can take a beating.
