WME Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Well the good news is that someone has upgraded the rear axle to a true 1 ton. The bad news is your shocks need to be replaced. You have mismatched shocks. The problem I see is I don't know is if you need 1982 shock set or a set of front 1982 shocks and 1988 set for the rear. You need to remove the shocks and measure the collapsed and extended length. Check the mounts also. This a place to start looking, they have all the measurements... https://www.shockwarehouse.com Air shocks are not a good idea, because all stress is placed on the shock mounts. Airbags are much better because they place the stress on the leaf springs and the frame rails. Good... Monroe Better... KYB Best Bilstein. Priced in the same order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
