Default Air Shocks??!!

Where can i find some good air shocks to soften up my ride a little bit? Is there anything you can to do the front of a lowered truck to make it ride better?

Gabriel. They only come in stock size though. I put extenders on mine to keep the rear end down. They won't raise the rear with less than 6psi, but that is a soft ride. I like to run 10psi. That's why I use the extenders. I got them because I use to tow a 30' 6200# travel trailer with that truck. Pump them up to 100psi and with the help of a weight distribution hitch, there was NO sag.

AUtozone has them. I'm at work now, so I can't get the part #.

Extenders are extensions for the bottom mount of the shock. They drop the lower mount by 2". But if you get them, IMPACT them on. I had both of them come loose on me.
