Smile Need air shocks for a F-150 Supercab XL
Hello all,
Need to know if anyone out there carries air adjustable shocks for my 1998 F-150 supercab XL w/v6?
Thanks

You don't want to use air shocks. The shock absorber mounts on our trucks were not designed to support the weight of a truck. You are just asking for trouble.

Plus, if you're doing this for increased weight carrying capabilities, air bags are the way to go. Not shocks.

RIght. If airbags are too expensive, go with an add-a-leaf.
