Default Air Shocks FTW

Installed a set of air shocks a couple weeks ago
Left a week ago with a load of campfire wood and all my gear aired up to 60psi
I had the entire back packed completely full from the back of the seats to the back window to the roof
The Blazer was not loaded as heavy coming home but I did have my camper on
What a world of difference with the air shocks
The trailer pulled so much better and my Blazer didn't feel like it was waddling along
BTW I removed a perfectly good set of Bilstein gas charged shocks that didn't seem to be doing the job
I will play with the pressure now to see how soft I can run empty

I have a 2dr with 30 mudders on it so it already rides choppy

I will give you if you the old Bilsteins if you pick them up
Shipping from here would likely be the cost of a new set from rock auto

My dad had some air shocks on his old FJ40. He said they helped a ton when pulling his travel trailer, or flat bed trailer.
