I have 2.5" lowered spindles, 2" narrowed beam and adjusters with std. KYB shocks. The ride is harsh. Will a set of Monroe MA700 air adjustable shocks help with ride quality? My current setup has the front sheet metal about 4.5" off the ground. I like the lowered look, but I'd also like a better ride. Thanks in advance, |

You are going to want an oil filed shock. Not gas. |

I think his is ball joint... 1970 I think . I've been thinking of air shocks myself but to raise it up about 1/2 inch. I too have KYB and the ride is stiff but ok. I would like to know what you find out ... |

People always complain about the KYB gas shocks making the ride too harsh, just run some oil shocks and I'm sure it will feel a lot better. I wouldn't bother with air shocks unless you need more ground clearance and your beam is already adjusted all the way up. |

I also have read that the ride, if not pumped too much, is a nice ride. Bill, sounds like your ride heigth is good .. I would try the oil shocks. |
