--"I swear I get a headache every time this comes up. If you can push a gas shock fully compressed with the palm of your hand, what makes you think it'll LIFT or RAISE an 800 pound corner of your car? I mean really? So, you believe one lousy gas shock will raise a blown BBC off an engine stand? Yeah, I know the gas shock works in conjunction with the car's springs, and all the bla bla bla. Fact is, it won't. In theory, maybe. In reality, which I try to stay with, it won't." ==

Yeah, what he said.


I love my Koni's

Re: Not around anymore

The nitrogen in gas shocks keeps the bubbles out of the fluid in the shocks. They will not push up your suspension like an air shock. The days of the Red Ryder by Gabriel are over.

YES. I think EVERY tri-five Chevy in my high school had em ripped out (early 70's-the "age" of the airshock)
