Question Air Shock Help

I asked in the suspension board, with no replies. I figure the folks that check out this board might have more of an idea. I have an '01 Expy and would like to put air shocks on it, like those made by Monroe or Gabriel. I don't want to have to go with an airbag setup, and I've had shocks like this on a pick-up in the past. I haven't been able to find numbers for the shocks I would need. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would stick with the air bags rather then the air shocks if you plan on carrying any kind of load. The shock mounts were not ment to be a load bearing fixture. If you use air shocks then the mounts will become load bearing and could fail. At least that is what I have been told by some suspension shops and it made sense to me.
