airshocks?
#2
The biggest problem with air shocks are those that have a single fill valve. When you corner the air from one shock is forced into the other shock. This causes the car to lean and seriously affects handling. If you do go with air shocks make sure each shock has its own filler valve. Personally I don't care for air shocks. If you are installing them to aid weak springs I would replace the strut assemblies.

Gabriel Air shocks worked Great for me...
They were called HighJackers...
I used separate fill valves for each shock.
Thus eliminating any cornering issues of air transfer from one to the other.
I say go for it... I believe they could hold up to 120 PSI in combination.
So I would probably fill them just enough to give you the tire clearance..
That way you don't compromise the ride from over filling.

in 1978.. The Monte Carlo didn't have struts... lol

Good luck with the application.
They install just like regular shocks use a separate valve, I think we mounted the filler behind the license plate. Also make sure you secure the airlines to the framing under the car so they don't catch on debris on the road and rip loose.
